The patch would be pretty good if the dependence on MNT_FORCE wasn't added. As it is, it's buggy in more ways than one: - It does the opposite of the above (i.e. skips fcaps *unless* MNT_FORCE is set) - sets LOOKUP_NO_REVAL from caller of path lookup, which is invalid (LOOKUP_NO_REVAL is used only internally by path lookup) - the fact that *_path_mountpoint_at() shouldn't touch the mount root is independent of MNT_FORCE I still don't quite understand what audit is trying to do here, but apparently it's okay to skip getxattr in the MNT_FORCE case. So why is it not okay to skip it in the non-MNT_FORCE case? Thanks, Miklos
