/*
* get_write_access() gets write permission for a file.
* put_write_access() releases this write permission.
* This is used for regular files.
* We cannot support write (and maybe mmap read-write shared) accesses and
* MAP_DENYWRITE mmappings simultaneously. The i_writecount field of an inode
* can have the following values:
* 0: no writers, no VM_DENYWRITE mappings
* < 0: (-i_writecount) vm_area_structs with VM_DENYWRITE set exist
* > 0: (i_writecount) users are writing to the file.
*
* Normally we operate on that counter with atomic_{inc,dec} and it's safe
* except for the cases where we don't hold i_writecount yet. Then we need to
* use {get,deny}_write_access() - these functions check the sign and refuse
* to do the change if sign is wrong.
