Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ovl: add copy up credential guard
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 23:45:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251114-work-ovl-cred-guard-copyup-v1-1-ea3fb15cf427@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251114-work-ovl-cred-guard-copyup-v1-0-ea3fb15cf427@kernel.org>
Add a credential guard for copy up. This will allows us to waste struct
struct ovl_cu_creds and simplify the code.
