Because of this assumption, the sanity check is skipped for OSS streams, and if user may attach to an existing OSS stream with O_APPEND, it may result in a UAF of the mapped pages which could be used as a privilege escalation exploit. For addressing it, this patch simply prohibits the O_APPEND behavior on the OSS stream. O_APPEND is never used for OSS layer itself, so this can't break for the right applications.
