Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 5/9] devcg: prepare may_access() for hierarchy
 support

Quoting aris@...hat.com (aris@...hat.com):
> Currently may_access() is only able to verify if an exception is valid for the

This here points out that (unrelated to yor set) devcgroup_update_access()
really needs a cleanup.
