While looking at the f_pos corruption thing, I found that splice() to a regular file totally ignores O_APPEND. Which allows users to bypass the append-only restriction. Bad... The only question is how this should be solved? Should splice() respect O_APPEND and ignore the offset? Or should it just return -EINVAL?
