From 199037c598daf5f3602dace68c331665a4f4f0c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 12:12:58 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [XFS] remove permission check from xfs_change_file_space Both callers of xfs_change_file_space alreaedy do the file->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE check to ensure we have a file descriptor that has been opened for write mode, so there is no need to re-check that with xfs_iaccess. Especially as the later might wrongly deny it for corner cases like file descriptor passing through unix domain sockets.
