    NFSv4: Handle the special Linux file open access mode · 44942b4e
    Trond Myklebust authored
    According to the open() manpage, Linux reserves the access mode 3
    to mean "check for read and write permission on the file and return
    a file descriptor that can't be used for reading or writing."
    
    Currently, the NFSv4 code will ask the server to open the file,
    and will use an incorrect share access mode of 0. Since it has
    an incorrect share access mode, the client later forgets to send
    a corresponding close, meaning it can leak stateids on the server.
