commit: 332a2e1244bd08b9e3ecd378028513396a004a24 From: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2012 10:17:00 -0700 Subject: vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fchdir()' MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
We already use them for openat() and friends, but fchdir() also wants to be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it comparable to the O_SEARCH of Solaris. In particular, O_PATH allows you to access (not-quite-open) a directory you don't have read persmission to, only execute permission. Noticed during development of multithread support for ksh93.
