------------------------------------------------------
Subject: create file_drop_write_access() helper
From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@xxxxxxxxxx>
These should fix the bug that Erez Zadok <ezk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
reported:
Stopping RPC idmapd:
kernel: __fput() of writeable file with no mnt_want_write()
kernel: WARNING: at fs/file_table.c:262 __fput()
kernel: [<c010283e>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x12/0x25
kernel: [<c0103042>] show_trace+0xd/0x10
...
The actual bug was a missed mnt_want_write() when a
filp was allocated with get_empty_filp() and then
made writable. Using alloc_file(), instead, fixes
that.
--
If someone decides to demote a file from r/w to just
r/o, they can use this same code as __fput().
NFS does just that, and will use this in the next
patch.
