commit032146cda8upstream. If we open a file without read access and then pass the fd to a syscall whose implementation calls kernel_read_file_from_fd(), we get a warning from __kernel_read(): if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ))) This currently affects both finit_module() and kexec_file_load(), but it could affect other syscalls in the future.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
