Subject[patch-2.4.0-test7-pre7] close_on_exec fix. (fwd)
OOPS, typed rutgers.edu by mistake...

Subject: [patch-2.4.0-test7-pre7] close_on_exec fix.

Hi Alexander,

Do you know why include/linux/file.h:get_close_on_exec() takes
files->file_lock for WRITE and not for READ? The patch below fixes this.

All places which modify close_on_exec take it for WRITE but that doesn't
mean that readers can't take it for READ.

Regards,
Tigran
