From f2405598e0678e9c93dd780f2a12fc562ece3d13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Holzheu Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2007 14:32:32 +0200 Subject: [S390] vmur: reject open on z/VM reader files with status HOLD If a reader file with HOLD status is at the top of the reader queue, currently all read requests will return data of the second file in the queue. But the semantics of vmur is that always the topmost file is read. With this fix -EPERM is returned on open, if the topmost reader file is in HOLD status.
