From c44ed965be7a84afaa07543c04eb97a5dfe93422 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 23:24:46 +0000 Subject: compat breakage in preadv() and pwritev() Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native variants, the compat_... ones forget to check FMODE_P{READ,WRITE}, so e.g. on pipe the native preadv() will fail with -ESPIPE and compat one will act as readv() and succeed. Not critical, but it's a clear bug with trivial fix, so IMO it's OK for -final.
