From 2b3416ceff5e6bd4922f6d1c61fb68113dd82302 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yang Xu Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2022 14:11:25 +0800 Subject: fs: add mode_strip_sgid() helper Add a dedicated helper to handle the setgid bit when creating a new file in a setgid directory. This is a preparatory patch for moving setgid stripping into the vfs. The patch contains no functional changes. Currently the setgid stripping logic is open-coded directly in inode_init_owner() and the individual filesystems are responsible for handling setgid inheritance. Since this has proven to be brittle as evidenced by old issues we uncovered over the last months (see [1] to [3] below) we will try to move this logic into the vfs.
