Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Since kernel commit[1], finit_module fails with ETXTBSY error if fd has write permission.
Since kernel commit[2], finit_module fails with EBADF error if fd doesn't have read permission.

So we can use read-write permission to trigger ETXTBSY error all the time since linux 4.7.
