[PATCH 5.4 88/92] vcs: prevent write access to vcsu devices
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Dec 11 2019 - 10:10:49 EST
From: Nicolas Pitre <nico@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0c9acb1af77a3cb8707e43f45b72c95266903cee upstream.
Commit d21b0be246bf ("vt: introduce unicode mode for /dev/vcs") guarded
against using devices containing attributes as this is not yet
implemented. It however failed to guard against writes to any devices
as this is also unimplemented.
