Are these > callbacks not used for mmap writes? They're certainly not used early enough -- we need to remove suid when the page becomes writable via mmap (wp_page_shared), not when writeback happens, or at least not only when writeback happens. But IIRC mmaped writes go through a different path -- they go through the address_space ops with names like writepages. > >>> >>>> Should the >>>> mmap MAP_SHARED-write trigger the loss of the set-gid bit too?

Can we get back to a file from the mm at that point? vma->vm_file, presumably (after checking whether it's null). wp_page_shared AFAIK only happens from process context, and the vma and its file should be valid. We could also get to an inode via page->address_space->mapping, but I'm guessing that vma->vm_file would be more appropriate here. --Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
