Chuck Lever abc02e5602 NFSD: Support write delegations in LAYOUTGET
I noticed LAYOUTGET(LAYOUTIOMODE4_RW) returning NFS4ERR_ACCESS
unexpectedly. The NFS client had created a file with mode 0444, and
the server had returned a write delegation on the OPEN(CREATE). The
client was requesting a RW layout using the write delegation stateid
so that it could flush file modifications.

Creating a read-only file does not seem to be problematic for
NFSv4.1 without pNFS, so I began looking at NFSD's implementation of
LAYOUTGET.

The failure was because fh_verify() was doing a permission check as
part of verifying the FH presented during the LAYOUTGET. It uses the
loga_iomode value to specify the @accmode argument to fh_verify().
fh_verify(MAY_WRITE) on a file whose mode is 0444 fails with -EACCES.

To permit LAYOUT* operations in this case, add OWNER_OVERRIDE when
checking the access permission of the incoming file handle for
LAYOUTGET and LAYOUTCOMMIT.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
