Hi Andreas, thanks for thre review!

Ok, I can change that.

I am not convinced about this. Sure it may feel strange, but:

 - we're not operating on the file itself but the file system in general
   and that needs to be rw mounted; kernel will check that
 - no other fslabel implementation requires the file to be opened for
   writing.
 - we don't even require file to be opened to writing for the most of our
   own special ioctls if they don't deal with the file itself such as
   EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT and EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT
 - btrfs-progs uses O_RDONLY of setting label, fstrim uses O_RDONLY for
   FITRIM and I am sure there are plenty more examples.

So AFAICT the standard seems to be not to require it and just open
O_RDONLY if we really want a handle of a file system, not the file
itself. I don't really care either way, but I am not willing to change
what to me seems to be a standard way of doing this.

So if you insist I'll change the code here, but I won't change it on the
kernel side to require FMODE_WRITE.

Thanks again for the review.
