[PATCH] vfs: Don't let __fdget_pos() get FMODE_PATH files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commit bd2a31d522344 ("get rid of fget_light()") introduced the
__fdget_pos() function, which returns the resulting file pointer and
fdput flags combined in an 'unsigned long'.  However, it also changed the
behavior to return files with FMODE_PATH set, which shouldn't happen
because read(), write(), lseek(), etc. aren't allowed on such files.
This commit restores the old behavior.

This regression actually had no effect on read() and write() since
FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE are not set on file descriptors opened with
O_PATH, but it did cause lseek() on a file descriptor opened with O_PATH
to fail with ESPIPE rather than EBADF.
