    vfs: re-introduce MAY_CHDIR · 9cfcac81
    Eric Paris authored
    Currently MAY_ACCESS means that filesystems must check the permissions
    right then and not rely on cached results or the results of future
    operations on the object.  This can be because of a call to sys_access() or
    because of a call to chdir() which needs to check search without relying on
    any future operations inside that dir.  I plan to use MAY_ACCESS for other
    purposes in the security system, so I split the MAY_ACCESS and the
    MAY_CHDIR cases.
