6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> commit abc02e5602f7bf9bbae1e8999570a2ad5114578c upstream. I noticed LAYOUTGET(LAYOUTIOMODE4_RW) returning NFS4ERR_ACCESS unexpectedly. The NFS client had created a file with mode 0444, and the server had returned a write delegation on the OPEN(CREATE). The client was requesting a RW layout using the write delegation stateid so that it could flush file modifications. Creating a read-only file does not seem to be problematic for NFSv4.1 without pNFS, so I began looking at NFSD's implementation of LAYOUTGET. The failure was because fh_verify() was doing a permission check as part of verifying the FH presented during the LAYOUTGET. It uses the loga_iomode value to specify the @accmode argument to fh_verify(). fh_verify(MAY_WRITE) on a file whose mode is 0444 fails with -EACCES. To permit LAYOUT* operations in this case, add OWNER_OVERRIDE when checking the access permission of the incoming file handle for LAYOUTGET and LAYOUTCOMMIT.
