2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David Howells commit 795e2fe0a3b69dbc040d7efcf517e0cbad6901d0 upstream. Annotate struct fs_struct's usage count to indicate the restrictions upon it. It may not be incremented, except by clone(CLONE_FS), as this affects the check in check_unsafe_exec() in fs/exec.c.
