So if I read this correctly, (ATTR_FORCE| ATTR_KILL_SUID|ATTR_MODE) will not return here, since 'ia_valid' will be ATTR_FORCE finally.

I think you forgot to clear ATTR_FORCE here...
Whoops, good catch. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have actual problem,
but it's bug obviously, and sorry for that. Fixed patch was attached.
You can add my:
Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks.

Amerigo, could you handle that patch with his ack for the remaining work?

No problem, I will resend the newest patch with his Ack.
BTW, I think [Patch 2/2] of

- newattrs.ia_valid |= should_remove_suid(dentry);
+ ret = should_remove_suid(dentry);
+ newattrs.ia_valid |= ret;
+ if (ret)
+ newattrs.ia_valid |= ATTR_FORCE;

should be

killsuid = should_remove_suid(dentry);
if (killsuid)
newattrs.ia_valid |= killsuid | ATTR_FORCE;

Hmm, I almost forgot this... This only saves one statement if 'ret == 0', but that is OK, I will change it.

Thanks!
