Hi ALexander,
This patch combines your previous patch with 2 changes I have just
suggested. Both changes are obvious (and correct).
(correction to my previous message -- the immutable thing to return EPERM
is not just a good idea, it is imperative and Linux already does that --
so we can drop that check from if() unconditionally, which is what the
patch below does).
Tested under 2.4.0-test12-pre6.
Regards,
Tigran
