[PATCH] Add lockless helpers for remove_suid()
Right now users have to grab i_mutex before calling remove_suid(), in the unlikely event that a call to ->setattr() may be needed. Split up the function in two parts: - One to check if we need to remove suid - One to actually remove it The first we can call lockless. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
