Smack: Verify read access on file open - v3
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Smack believes that many of the operatons that can
be performed on an open file descriptor are read operations.
The fstat and lseek system calls are examples.
An implication of this is that files shouldn't be open
if the task doesn't have read access even if it has
write access and the file is being opened write only.

Targeted for git://git.gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git
