From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Sat, 09 Jun 2012 09:11:29 +0000 Subject: [patch] eCryptfs: fix ecryptfs_privileged_open() for read only files Message-Id: <20120609091129.GD877@elgon.mountain> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org The intent here is to handle read only opens differently. For example, if we don't want to create the file if it doesn't exist. The problem here is that O_RDONLY is 0 and if (x & 0) {... is always false.
