2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Csaba Henk commit 1b7323965a8c6eee9dc4e345a7ae4bff1dc93149 upstream. The comment in fuse_open about O_DIRECT: "VFS checks this, but only _after_ ->open()" also holds for fuse_create, however, the same kind of check was missing there. As an impact of this bug, open(newfile, O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_DIRECT) fails, but a stub newfile will remain if the fuse server handled the implied FUSE_CREATE request appropriately. Other impact: in the above situation ima_file_free() will complain to open/free imbalance if CONFIG_IMA is set.
