First comment at the LWN: > […] I think calling the flags "setuid" (as lwn appears to prefer?) just blurs things, since that's the name of a syscall (setuid()), which does something related, but is not actually involved in the concept that the inode SUID flag is about. > Hence, I am a bit confused what that comment here is supposed to achieve?
