Good catch. I wasn't aware of write_as_side_effects. That's indeed bizarre.

Without this patch, any restrictions imposed by the permission model can be easily bypassed, granting full read and write access to any file. On Windows, this could even be used to delete files that are supposed to be write-protected. Fixes: nodejs#47090

It might be good to get more eyes on this, perhaps from @nodejs/libuv since especially the behavior on Windows depends more on how libuv translates flags than on Windows itself. |

Without this patch, any restrictions imposed by the permission model can be easily bypassed, granting full read and write access to any file. On Windows, this could even be used to delete files that are supposed to be write-protected.
This likely also fixes a separate bug in
fsPromises.open(), which currently incorrectly requires read permissions even for write-only access. (Unless that was somehow intentional?)I'm not very confident in my understanding of the permission model. Please review carefully.
Fixes: #47090
