| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the `netfs` component of the Linux kernel. The write streaming feature, which caches dirty data to avoid unnecessary reads, was incorrectly disabled when a file descriptor was opened with `O_RDWR` (read-write) mode. This incorrect disabling was based on an outdated assumption that flushing the write-streaming page was necessary before reading, which is no longer the case. This issue could lead to unexpected behavior or performance problems in file operations.
