Yes, it is. nfsd do the permission checking before notify_change() as, /* This assumes NFSD_MAY_{READ,WRITE,EXEC} == MAY_{READ,WRITE,EXEC} */ err = inode_permission(inode, acc & (MAY_READ|MAY_WRITE|MAY_EXEC)); return -EACCES for non-owner user. > > I doubt I can fix it by myself (at least quickly).

If okay, I will send an official patch.
