Subject: r/o bind mounts: elevate write count files are open()ed
From: Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This is the first really tricky patch in the series. It elevates the writer
count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write.
This is not completely apparent in the patch because the two if() conditions
in may_open() above the mnt_want_write() call are, combined, equivalent to
special_file().
There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei().
The count needs to be kept elevated all the way into the may_open() call.
Otherwise, when the write is dropped, a ro->rw transisition could occur. This
would lead to having rw access on the newly created file, while the vfsmount
is ro. That is bad.
