From 39d637af5aa7577f655c58b9e55587566c63a0af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Kasatkin Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2014 12:42:07 +0200 Subject: vfs: forbid write access when reading a file into memory This patch is based on top of the "vfs: support for a common kernel file loader" patch set. In general when the kernel is reading a file into memory it does not want anything else writing to it. The kernel currently only forbids write access to a file being executed. This patch extends this locking to files being read by the kernel.
