Satyam Sharma 3bd858ab1c Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid check
Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]

The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

David Woodhouse c00c310eac [JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate.
In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting
Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke
that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright
assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on
the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason.

We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception
licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody
has the right to license it differently.

KaiGai Kohei c7afb0f977 [JFFS2][XATTR] Fix memory leak in POSIX-ACL support
jffs2_clear_acl() which releases acl caches allocated by kmalloc()
was defined but it was never called. Thus, we faced to the risk
of memory leaking.

This patch plugs jffs2_clear_acl() into jffs2_do_clear_inode().
It ensures to release acl cache when inode is cleared.

This patch enable to handle the case when updating null xattr
by null ACL.

When we try to set NULL into NULL xattr, xattr subsystem returns
-ENODATA. This patch enables to handle this error code.

KaiGai Kohei aa98d7cf59 [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)
This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).

There are some significant differences from previous version posted
at last December.
The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.

In addition, some bugs are fixed.
- A potential race condition was fixed.
- Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
- A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.

The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
and updated if necessary.
Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.
