Subject: [28/34] CacheFiles: Fix error handling in cachefiles_determine_cache_security()
Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 16:00:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100524230351.837063978@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100524230418.GA12770@kroah.com>
2.6.34-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
commit 7ac512aa8237c43331ffaf77a4fd8b8d684819ba upstream.
cachefiles_determine_cache_security() is expected to return with a
security override in place. However, if set_create_files_as() fails, we
fail to do this. In this case, we should just reinstate the security
override that was set by the caller.
Furthermore, if set_create_files_as() fails, we should dispose of the
new credentials we were in the process of creating.
