Subject: Re: [PATCH -next 0/2] fix nfsv4 bugs of opening with O_ACCMODE flag

I will give some detailed code process.

firstly open():

```c
open
   do_sys_open
     do_sys_openat2
       do_filp_open
         path_openat
           open_last_lookups
             lookup_open
               atomic_open
                 nfs_atomic_open
                   create_nfs_open_context
                     flags_to_mode() = FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE
                     alloc_nfs_open_context
                       ctx->mode = f_mode // FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE
                   // NFS_PROTO(dir)->open_context
                   nfs4_atomic_open
                     nfs4_do_open
                       _nfs4_do_open
                         fmode = _nfs4_ctx_to_openmode(ctx) = 3
                           ret = ctx->mode & (FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE) // 
ctx->mode = 3
                         nfs4_opendata_alloc
                           nfs4_map_atomic_open_share
                             return NFS4_SHARE_ACCESS_BOTH
```

secondly open():
```c
open
   do_sys_open
     do_sys_openat2
       do_filp_open
         path_openat
           open_last_lookups
             lookup_open
               return dentry // if (dentry->d_inode) {
           do_open
             vfs_open
               do_dentry_open
                 // f->f_op->open
                 nfs4_file_open
                   if ((openflags & O_ACCMODE) == 3)
                   nfs_open // without sunrpc request
                     alloc_nfs_open_context
                       ctx->state = NULL; // this is point
```

lseek() after secondly open():
```c
lseek
   ksys_lseek
     vfs_llseek
       // file->f_op->llseek
       nfs4_file_llseek
         nfs42_proc_llseek
           _nfs42_proc_llseek(lock)
             nfs4_set_rw_stateid(ctx=lock->open_context)
               nfs4_select_rw_stateid(state=ctx->state)
                 nfs4_valid_open_stateid(state)
                   state->flags // dereference NULL state
```
