[PATCH 05/23] fs: check FMODE_WRITE in __kernel_write

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Wed Jul 01 2020 - 16:23:10 EST


Add a WARN_ON_ONCE if the file isn't actually open for write. This
matches the check done in vfs_write, but actually warn warns as a
kernel user calling write on a file not opened for writing is a pretty
obvious programming error.
