It makes no sense to set active_per_clear when the kernel decides not
to honor the executables setuid or or setgid bits.  Instead set
active_per_clear when the kernel actually decides to honor the suid or
sgid permission bits of an executable.

As far as I can tell this was the intended behavior but with the
ptrace logic hiding out in security/commcap.c:cap_bprm_apply_creds I
believe it was just overlooked that the setuid or setgid operation
could be cancelled.

You seem to be confused about the naming yourself.

You talk about "active_per_clear", but the code is about "per_clear". WTF?

I figured out how to kill active_per_clear see (3/11) and I failed to
update the patch description here.

I think active_ is a louzy suffix but since it all goes away in patch 3
when I remove the recomputation and the need to have two versions of the
setting I think it is probably good enough.
