From: Christian Brauner Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 10:27:46 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Merge patch series "vfs: add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2)" X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=09e8b7a428b3f52b7625870edb4cd42e621fac07;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git Merge patch series "vfs: add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2)" Jori Koolstra says: To get an operable version of an O_PATH file descriptor, it is possible to use openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other files currently require going through open("/proc//fd/"), which depends on a functioning procfs. This patch adds the O_EMPTYPATH flag to openat(2)/openat2(2). If passed, LOOKUP_EMPTY is set at path resolution time. * patches from https://patch.msgid.link/20260424114611.1678641-1-jkoolstra@xs4all.nl: selftest: add tests for O_EMPTYPATH vfs: add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2) Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260424114611.1678641-1-jkoolstra@xs4all.nl Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner --- 09e8b7a428b3f52b7625870edb4cd42e621fac07
