4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
commit c6ade20f5e50e188d20b711a618b20dd1d50457e upstream.
The WRITE SAME to TRIM translation rewrites the DATA OUT buffer. While
the SCSI code accomodates for this by passing a read-writable buffer
userspace applications don't cater for this behavior. In fact it can
be used to rewrite e.g. a readonly file through mmap and should be
considered as a security fix.
