Subject: [PATCH v2] Add new open(2) flag - O_EMPTY_PATH
Date: Sun, 1 Jan 2023 04:56:18 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221231235618.117201-1-ahamza@ixsystems.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <202212310842.ysbymPHY-lkp@intel.com>
This patch adds a new flag O_EMPTY_PATH that allows openat and open
system calls to open a file referenced by fd if the path is empty,
and it is very similar to the FreeBSD O_EMPTY_PATH flag. This can be
beneficial in some cases since it would avoid having to grant /proc
access to things like samba containers for reopening files to change
flags in a race-free way.
Signed-off-by: Ameer Hamza <ahamza@ixsystems.com>
---
Change in v2:
add nonconflicting values for O_EMPTY_PATH on architectures
where default conflicts with existing flags.
