fanotify: if set by user unset FMODE_NONOTIFY before fsnotify_perm() is called
Unsetting FMODE_NONOTIFY in fsnotify_open() is too late, since fsnotify_perm() is called before. If FMODE_NONOTIFY is set fsnotify_perm() will skip permission checks, so a user can still disable permission checks by setting this flag in an open() call. This patch corrects this by unsetting the flag before fsnotify_perm is called. Signed-off-by: Lino Sanfilippo <LinoSanfilippo@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
