[PATCH 4.6 185/203] ovl: get_write_access() in truncate

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

commit 03bea60409328de54e4ff7ec41672e12a9cb0908 upstream.

When truncating a file we should check write access on the underlying
inode. And we should do so on the lower file as well (before copy-up) for
consistency.

Original patch and test case by Aihua Zhang.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int ret;

ret = truncate(argv[0], 4096);
if (ret != -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "truncate(argv[0]) should have failed\n");
return 1;
}
if (errno != ETXTBSY) {
perror("truncate(argv[0])");
return 1;
}

return 0;
}
