From f1ac9f6bfea6f21e8ab6dbbe46879d62a6fba8c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:53:56 -0700 Subject: Simplify exec_permission_lite() further This function is only called for path components that are already known to be directories (they have a '->lookup' method). So don't bother doing that whole S_ISDIR() testing, the whole point of the 'lite()' version is that we know that we are looking at a directory component, and that we're only checking name lookup permission.
