You can add:

Acked-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com>

'cause it's an awful lot like the patch I sent for the same issue back
on 8/16  ;-)  Guess I should have followed that up with a ping.  (though
your 0600 mode is probably better than my 0644 was)

Andreas, did you also run into trouble with struct_io_manager's ->open
calls triggering this test?

I sent a patch for that,

[PATCH] rename ->open and ->close ops in struct_io_manager

too... maybe the glibc #define tricks got smarter and don't trigger that
now?
