One is the fact that the brain can have a hard time with negation. The second is that we have long conditionals in which the pieces are expressed using the mechanism we need to express what we want, rather than what we are really asking. So sometimes just coming up with a different name for a function can help clarify its use, i.e. uid_changed(from, to) instead of !uid_eq. So the above I think would be much easier as if (has_cap && did_setuid_to(new, root_uid)) { Needing to predefine root_uid is unfortunate. Perhaps giving it a shorter name like 'root' would help in some of these lines. So then if (has_cap && did_setuid_to(new, root)) { > warn_setuid_and_fcaps_mixed(bprm->filename); > goto skip; > } > @@ -521,33 +531,32 @@ int cap_bprm_set_creds(struct linux_binprm *bprm) > * To support inheritance of root-permissions and suid-root > * executables under compatibility mode, we override the > * capability sets for the file. > - * > - * If only the real uid is 0, we do not set the effective bit. > */ > - if (uid_eq(new->euid, root_uid) || uid_eq(new->uid, root_uid)) { > + if (EROOT || RROOT) { if (same_real_uid(new, root) || same_eff_uid(new, root)) > /* pP' = (cap_bset & ~0) | (pI & ~0) */ > new->cap_permitted = cap_combine(old->cap_bset, > old->cap_inheritable); > } > - if (uid_eq(new->euid, root_uid)) > + /* > + * If only the real uid is root, we do not set the effective bit. > + */ > + if (EROOT) > effective = true; if (same_eff_uid(new, root)) > } > skip: > > /* if we have fs caps, clear dangerous personality flags */ > - if (!cap_issubset(new->cap_permitted, old->cap_permitted)) > + if (pPADD) > bprm->per_clear |= PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID; if (p_caps_grew(old, new)) Not quite sure whether p_caps_grew, e_caps_grew, a_caps_grew() are nicer, or caps_grew(old, new, field). i like the latter, but when seeing the final patch maybe the former would be clearer.
