This patch fixes severe UBIFS bug: UBIFS oopses when we 'fsync()' an file on R/O-mounter file-system. We (the UBIFS authors) incorrectly thought that VFS would not propagate 'fsync()' down to the file-system if it is read-only, but this is not the case. It is easy to exploit this bug using the following simple perl script: use strict; use File::Sync qw(fsync sync); die "File path is not specified" if not defined $ARGV[0]; my $path = $ARGV[0]; open FILE, "<", "$path" or die "Cannot open $path: $!"; fsync(\*FILE) or die "cannot fsync $path: $!"; close FILE or die "Cannot close $path: $!"; Thanks to Reuben Dowle <Reuben.Dowle@navico.com> for reporting about this issue.
