From 28d7a6ae92c099d81cbea08c20be0d2cf7ccd7ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Graff Yang Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:11:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nommu: check fd read permission in validate_mmap_request() According to the POSIX (1003.1-2008), the file descriptor shall have been opened with read permission, regardless of the protection options specified to mmap(). The ltp test cases mmap06/07 need this.
