[PATCH] fix MAY_CHDIR/MAY_ACCESS/LOOKUP_ACCESS mess
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
* MAY_CHDIR is redundant - it's an equivalent of MAY_ACCESS
* MAY_ACCESS on fuse should affect only the last step of pathname resolution
* fchdir() and chroot() should pass MAY_ACCESS, for the same reason why
  chdir() needs that.
* now that we pass MAY_ACCESS explicitly in all cases, LOOKUP_ACCESS can be
  removed; it has no business being in nameidata.
