2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Clemens Ladisch commit 16fb109644b5644e42ececeff644514de6f4bd03 upstream. Commit 9a1b64caac82aa02cb74587ffc798e6f42c6170a in 2.6.30 dropped the check that a substream must already have been opened with O_APPEND to be able to open it a second time. This would make it possible for a substream to be switched to append mode, which would mean that non-atomic writes would fail unexpectedly.
