From 52f14282bb0c3d3e5ba2a9eaacb12ff37a033e7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:24:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] exec: move allow_write_access/fput to exec_binprm() When search_binary_handler() succeeds it does allow_write_access() and fput(), then it clears bprm->file to ensure the caller will not do the same. We can simply move this code to exec_binprm() which is called only once. In fact we could move this to free_bprm() and remove the same code in do_execve_common's error path.
