Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fuse2fs: fix normal (non-kernel) permissions checking
Date: Tue,  1 Jul 2025 23:50:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250702035044.47373-1-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)

Commit 9f69dfc4e275 ("fuse2fs: implement O_APPEND correctly") defined
a new flag, A_OK, to add support for testing whether the file is valid
for append operations.  This is relevant for the check_iflags_access()
function, but when are later testing operations mask against the inode
permissions, this new flag gets in the way and causes non-root users
attempting to create new inodes in a directory to fail.  Fix this by
masking off A_OK before doing these tests.

Fixes: 9f69dfc4e275 ("fuse2fs: implement O_APPEND correctly")
