    btrfs: btrfs_permission's RO check shouldn't apply to device nodes · cb6db4e5
    Jeff Mahoney authored
    This patch tightens the read-only access checks in btrfs_permission to
     match the constraints in inode_permission. Currently, even though the
     device node itself will be unmodified, read-write access to device nodes
     is denied to when the device node resides on a read-only subvolume or a
     is a file that has been marked read-only by the btrfs conversion utility.
    
     With this patch applied, the check only affects regular files,
     directories, and symlinks. It also restructures the code a bit so that
     we don't duplicate the MAY_WRITE check for both tests.
