Subject: vfs: separate FMODE_PREAD/FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=55ec82176eca52e4e0530a82a0eb59160a1a95a1;p=linux-beck.git

vfs: separate FMODE_PREAD/FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags

Separate FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags to reflect the
reality that the read and write paths may have independent restrictions.

A git grep verifies that these flags are always cleared together so this
new behavior will only apply to interfaces that change to clear flags
individually.

This is required for "seq_file: properly cope with pread", a post-2.6.25
regression fix.
