Question:
The patch does the semantic equivalent of:
-#define cap_clear(c) do { cap_t(c) = 0; } while(0)
-#define cap_set_full(c) do { cap_t(c) = ~0; } while(0)
+# define cap_clear(c) do { (c) = __cap_empty_set; } while (0)
+# define cap_set_full(c) do { (c) = __cap_full_set; } while (0)
+# define cap_set_init_eff(c) do { (c) = __cap_init_eff_set; } while (0)
Was it intentional, or an oversight, that this blows chunks in modules
that try to use cap_clear() or cap_set_full() because the __cap_*
symbols don't get an EXPORT_SYMBOL() attached to them?
