[PATCH v19 4/4] overlayfs: inode_owner_or_capable called during execv

From: David Anderson
Date: Tue Nov 16 2021 - 20:58:57 EST


From: John Stultz <john.stultz@xxxxxxxxxx>

Using old_creds as an indication that we are not overriding the
credentials, bypass call to inode_owner_or_capable. This solves
a problem with all execv calls being blocked when using the caller's
credentials.
