[PATCH] maps.2: fd for a file mapping must be opened for reading

[Andrey Vagin]

Here is no difference between MAP_SHARED and MAP_PRIVATE.

do_mmap_pgoff()
        switch (flags & MAP_TYPE) {
        case MAP_SHARED:
        ...
        /* fall through */
        case MAP_PRIVATE:
                if (!(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ))
                        return -EACCES;
