Subject: fanotify: fix false positive on permission events
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7746e3bd4cc19b5092e00d32d676e329bfcb6900;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

fanotify: fix false positive on permission events

fsnotify_get_mark_safe() may return false for a mark on an unrelated group,
which results in bypassing the permission check.

Fix by skipping over detached marks that are not in the current group.
