From 2419da02f5ff42cb8af85c0b6a3916b6187abf2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:56:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] don't bother with {get,put}_write_access() on non-regular files commit dd20908a8a06b22c171f6c3fcdbdbd65bed07505 upstream. it's pointless and actually leads to wrong behaviour in at least one moderately convoluted case (pipe(), close one end, try to get to another via /proc/*/fd and run into ETXTBUSY).
