As VM_DENYWRITE does no longer exists, let's spring-clean the documentation of get_write_access() and friends. Acked-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Acked-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>

* This is used for regular files where some users -- especially the

* VM_DENYWRITE -- cannot handle concurrent write (and maybe mmap

|

* get_write_access() gets write permission for a file.
|

* put_write_access() releases this write permission.
|

* This is used for regular files.
|
||||
* We cannot support write (and maybe mmap read-write shared) accesses and
|
||||
* MAP_DENYWRITE mmappings simultaneously. The i_writecount field of an inode
|
||||
* can have the following values:
|
||||
* 0: no writers, no VM_DENYWRITE mappings
|
||||
* < 0: (-i_writecount) vm_area_structs with VM_DENYWRITE set exist
|
||||
* > 0: (i_writecount) users are writing to the file.
|
||||
* deny_write_access() denies write access to a file.
|
||||
* allow_write_access() re-enables write access to a file.

|
||||
* The i_writecount field of an inode can have the following values:
|
||||
* 0: no write access, no denied write access
|
||||
* < 0: (-i_writecount) users that denied write access to the file.
|
||||
* > 0: (i_writecount) users that have write access to the file.
|

|

* Normally we operate on that counter with atomic_{inc,dec} and it's safe
|
