From: "M. Mohan Kumar" <mo...@in.ibm.com> In passthrough security model in local fs driver, after a file creation chown and chmod are done to set the file credentials and mode as requested by 9p client. But if there was a request to create a file with S_ISGID bit, doing chown on that file resets the S_ISGID bit. So first call chown and then invoking chmod with proper mode bit retains the S_ISGID (if present/requested)
This resulted in LTP mknod02, mknod03, mknod05, open10 test case failures. This patch fixes this issue. man 2 chown When the owner or group of an executable file are changed by an unprivileged user the S_ISUID and S_ISGID mode bits are cleared. POSIX does not specify whether this also should happen when root does the chown(); the Linux behavior depends on the kernel version. Signed-off-by: M.
