[PATCH 2/2] remove open share mode file permission check

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

 



From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

First, the ability to deny reads is generally considered stronger than
the ability to deny writes, so if anything should require special
permissions it is the former.

Second, this test contradicts observed Windows behavior.  Testing shows
that Windows prohits an opener without write permissions from denying
reads.  It will allow such an open, but will then also allow concurrent
read opens, failing to enforce the DENY_WRITE.
