The patch titled vfs: separate FMODE_PREAD/FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was vfs-separate-fmode_pread-fmode_pwrite-into-separate-flags.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: vfs: separate FMODE_PREAD/FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags From: Paul Turner <pjt@xxxxxxxxxx> Separate FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags to reflect the reality that the read and write paths may have independent restrictions. A git grep verifies that these flags are always cleared together so this new behavior will only apply to interfaces that change to clear flags individually. This is required for "seq_file: properly cope with pread", a post-2.6.25 regression fix.
