From 98ca62ba9e2be5863c7d069f84f7166b45a5b2f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Thomas=20Wei=C3=9Fschuh?= linux@weissschuh.net Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2024 23:10:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: always initialize i_uid/i_gid MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Always initialize i_uid/i_gid inside the sysfs core so set_ownership() can safely skip setting them.
Commit 5ec27ec735ba ("fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: fix the default values of i_uid/i_gid on /proc/sys inodes.") added defaults for i_uid/i_gid when set_ownership() was not implemented. It also missed adjusting net_ctl_set_ownership() to use the same default values in case the computation of a better value failed.
