    ovl: get_write_access() in truncate · 03bea604

    When truncating a file we should check write access on the underlying
    inode.  And we should do so on the lower file as well (before copy-up) for
    consistency.
    
    Original patch and test case by Aihua Zhang.

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    	int ret;
    
    	ret = truncate(argv[0], 4096);
    	if (ret != -1) {
    		fprintf(stderr, "truncate(argv[0]) should have failed\n");
    		return 1;
    	}
    	if (errno != ETXTBSY) {
    		perror("truncate(argv[0])");
    		return 1;
    	}
    
    	return 0;
    }
