Subject: security: revalidate rw permissions for sys_splice and sys_vmsplice
From: James Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Revalidate read/write permissions for splice(2) and vmslice(2), in case
security policy has changed since the files were opened.
Note that this brings the splice code into line with other mechanisms for
reading and writing files, where an LSM check is made on open, then
revalidated on read or write as a form of partial revocation.
