[PATCH v2 2/2] vfs: don't allow writes to swap files

From: Darrick J. Wong
Date: Fri Aug 16 2019 - 12:22:04 EST


From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

Don't let userspace write to an active swap file because the kernel
effectively has a long term lease on the storage and things could get
seriously corrupted if we let this happen.
