Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] RFC: p9auth: add p9auth fs
Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 18:50:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100503235019.GA16384@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100428153933.GA6610@redhat.com>

Thanks for the comments, Oleg.  I will fold this patch into the
main patch, but I'll spare everyone a full repost right now.

thanks,
-serge

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] p9auth: address feedback

Address two comments by Oleg:

Return -ERESTARTNOINTR rather than -EINTR if we are interrupted
while waiting on cap_mutex.  And check size of input buffer for
something sane.  A user with hundreds of auxilliary groups could
end up with a > PAGE_SIZE message, so maybe this is a bit too
stringent, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.
