Last kernel release we introduce CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED. By
default this option is set. When it is set the long-standing behavior
of being able to write to mounted block devices is enabled.
But in order to guard against unintended corruption by writing to the
block device buffer cache CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED can be turned
off. In that case it isn't possible to write to mounted block devices
anymore.
A filesystem may open its block devices with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES
which disallows concurrent BLK_OPEN_WRITE access. When we still had the
bdev handle around we could recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES because
the mode was passed around. Since we managed to get rid of the bdev
handle we changed that logic to recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES based
on whether the file was opened writable and writes to that block device
are blocked. That logic doesn't work because we do allow
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES to be specified without BLK_OPEN_WRITE.
Fix the detection logic and use an FMODE_* bit. We could've also abused
O_EXCL as an indicator that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES has been requested.
For userspace open paths O_EXCL will never be retained but for internal
opens where we open files that are never installed into a file
descriptor table this is fine. But it would be a gamble that this
doesn't cause bugs. Note that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES is an internal
only flag that cannot directly be raised by userspace. It is implicitly
raised during mounting.
Passes xftests and blktests with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED set and
unset.
