From 02f92b3868a1b34ab98464e76b0e4e060474ba10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Brauner Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2021 14:19:22 +0100 Subject: fs: add file and path permissions helpers Add two simple helpers to check permissions on a file and path respectively and convert over some callers. It simplifies quite a few codepaths and also reduces the churn in later patches quite a bit. Christoph also correctly points out that this makes codepaths (e.g. ioctls) way easier to follow that would otherwise have to do more complex argument passing than necessary.
