That "current_cred" thing is really too ugly to live. Why is it trying to make it look like a variable? That will just confuse people, and/or make them think it's a cheap thing rather than some complex function call. Also, why does the "__current_cred()" function have those illogical and insane "#ifdef CONFIG_KEYS" things in it, when it cannot be used/work sanely without it (and when the header file does a +#ifndef CONFIG_KEYS +#define __current_cred() ({ current->cred; }) +#else .. anyway?) IOW, this patch should be taken out and shot, for apparently actively trying to obfuscate what the heck is going on.
