From 1203c8e6fb0aa1e9c39d2323607a74c3adc34fd8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akinobu Mita Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:49:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fault-inject: simplify access check for fail-nth The fail-nth file is created with 0666 and the access is permitted if and only if the task is current. This file is owned by the currnet user. So we can create it with 0644 and allow the owner to write it. This enables to watch the status of task->fail_nth from another processes.
