3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <[email protected]> commit e68726ff72cf7ba5e7d789857fcd9a75ca573f03 upstream. Userspace can pass weird create mode in open(2) that we canonicalize to "(mode & S_IALLUGO) | S_IFREG" in vfs_create(). The problem is that we use the uncanonicalized mode before calling vfs_create() with unforseen consequences. So do the canonicalization early in build_open_flags().
