I was curious if older kernel does not issue read at all, or issues read
on writeback fid correctly opened as root/RDRW

You can try either the append.c I pasted a few mails back or the dd
commands, as regular user.

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=1
$ chmod 400 test
# drop cache or remount
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=test bs=102 seek=2 count=1 conv=notrunc
dd: error writing 'test': Bad file descriptor

... But honestly I should just find the time to do it myself, this has
been dragging on for too long...
