4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eryu Guan <eg...@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 6b136a24b05c81a24e0b648a4bd938bcd0c4f69e ]
Attributes that only implement .seq_ops are read-only, any write to
them should be rejected. But currently kernel would crash when
writing to such debugfs entries, e.g.
chmod +w /sys/kernel/debug/block/<dev>/requeue_list
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/block/<dev>/requeue_list
chmod -w /sys/kernel/debug/block/<dev>/requeue_list
Fix it by returning -EPERM in blk_mq_debugfs_write() when writing to
such attributes.
