From 4e34e719e457f2e031297175410fc0bd4016a085 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 17:37:31 +0200 Subject: fs: take the ACL checks to common code Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an ACL from disk after having a cache miss. This means we can replace the ACL checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c.
