The patch titled
r/o bind mounts: rearrange may_open() to be r/o friendly
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
r-o-bind-mounts-rearrange-may_open-to-be-r-o-friendly.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: r/o bind mounts: rearrange may_open() to be r/o friendly
From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@xxxxxxxxxx>
may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for IS_RDONLY(inode).
It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission().
The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually. With the
mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o checks (except for this one)
are consistently done before calling permission(). Because of this, I'd like
to use permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that the
mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made.
So, to do this:
1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission()
2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before
even calling permission()
3. actually add the debugging check to permission()
We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks before calling permission().
Here's the patch.
