From a01e718f7241c53f564402f7acff373eed5bd166 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2016 21:53:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix a regression in atomic_open() open("/foo/no_such_file", O_RDONLY | O_CREAT) on should fail with EACCES when /foo is not writable; failing with ENOENT is obviously wrong. That got broken by a braino introduced when moving the creat_error logics from atomic_open() to lookup_open(). Easy to fix, fortunately.
