Subject: [PATCH 02/25] rearrange may_open() to be r/o friendly
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2007 12:52:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070920195250.7656557C@kernel> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070920195249.852667D5@kernel>


may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for
IS_RDONLY(inode).  It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission().

The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually.
With the mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o
checks (except for this one) are consistently done before
calling permission().  Because of this, I'd like to use
permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that
the mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made.

So, to do this:
1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission()
2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before
   even calling permission()
3. actually add the debugging check to permission()

We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks
before calling permission().  Here's the patch.
