Subject: [PATCH] smackfs load append mode fix

From: Casey Schaufler <casey@...aufler-ca.com>

Given just how hard it is to find the code that uses MAY_APPEND
it's probably not a big surprise that this went unnoticed for so
long. The Smack rules loading code is incorrectly setting the
MAY_READ bit when MAY_APPEND is requested.
