ubi: Fix permission display of the debugfs files
Some interface files in debugfs support the read method dfs_file_read(), but their rwx permissions is shown as unreadable. In the user mode, the following problem can be clearly seen: # ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/ubi/ubi0/ total 0 --w------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 chk_fastmap --w------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 chk_gen --w------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 chk_io -r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 detailed_erase_block_info --w------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 tst_disable_bgt --w------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 tst_emulate_bitflips --w------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 tst_emulate_io_failures --w------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 tst_emulate_power_cut --w------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 tst_emulate_power_cut_max --w------- 1 root root 0 Oct 22 16:26 tst_emulate_power_cut_min It shows that these files do not have read permission 'r', but we can actually read their contents. # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ubi/ubi0/chk_io # cat /sys/kernel/debug/ubi/ubi0/chk_io 1 User's permission access is determined by capabilities. Of course, the root user is not restricted from reading these files. When reading a debugfs file, the process is as follows: ksys_read() vfs_read() if (file->f_op->read) file->f_op->read() full_proxy_open() real_fops->read() dfs_file_read() -- Read method of debugfs file. else if (file->f_op->read_iter) new_sync_read() else ret = -EINVAL -- Return -EINVAL if no read method. This indicates that the debugfs file can be read as long as the read method of the debugfs file is registered. This patch adds the read permission display for file that support the read method.
