Hello, I have a problem when trying to hook inode_symlink(). According to security.h, this hook and its args like below: -- int (*inode_symlink) (struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry, const char *old_name); * @inode_symlink: * Check the permission to create a symbolic link to a file. * @dir contains the inode structure of parent directory of the symbolic link. * @dentry contains the dentry structure of the symbolic link. * @old_name contains the pathname of file. * Return 0 if permission is granted. --- Of 3 args, the last one old_name should give us the full-name of the "original" file (which has a new file points to), but that is not the case (at least with 2.6.12 I am working on). For example If I link to a file in the current directory, the old_name returned is without any path at all. So is this a bug, or intentional? If it is not a bug, how can I find the fullname of the original file? Many thanks. Hieu
