Subject: sysfs: disallow world-writable files.
X-Git-Tag: v3.17-rc1~48^2~6
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=37549e94c77a94a9c32b5ae3313a3801cb66adf9;p=linux.git

sysfs: disallow world-writable files.

This check was introduced in 2006 by Alexey Dobriyan (9774a1f54f173)
for module parameters; we removed it when we unified the check into
VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS() as sysfs didn't have the same requirement.
Now all those users are fixed, reintroduce it.
