- r-o-bind-mounts-elevate-write-count-files-are-opened.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     r/o bind mounts: elevate write count files are open()ed
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     r-o-bind-mounts-elevate-write-count-files-are-opened.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: r/o bind mounts: elevate write count files are open()ed
From: Dave Hansen <hansendc@us.ibm.com>

This is the first really tricky patch in the series.  It elevates the writer
count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write.

This is not completely apparent in the patch because the two if() conditions
in may_open() above the mnt_want_write() call are, combined, equivalent to
special_file().

There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei(). 
The count needs to be kept elevated all the way into the may_open() call. 
Otherwise, when the write is dropped, a ro->rw transisition could occur.  This
would lead to having rw access on the newly created file, while the vfsmount
is ro.  That is bad.
