Hello all, in 220, path_is_mount_point() now always fails with "-20 ENOTDIR" when calling it on files. This is problematic as it's perfectly valid to have bind-mounted files; in fact, systemd's machine_id_setup() itself creates a /run/machine-id → /etc/machine-id bind mount if /etc is read-only at that time (and systemd-machine-id-commit will write it once root fs becomes writable).
This was first introduced here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=27cc6f166 path-util: fix path_is_mount_point() for symlinks which added O_DIRECTORY, so that openat() fails with the above error. It also replaced path_get_parent() (which works fine for files) with name_to_handle_at(fd, "..", ...) which only works for directories. In fd_is_mount_point() we obviously don't have access to the file name any more, and presumably we do want to keep it for efficiently implementing the "rm-rf: never cross mount points" commit f25afeb. Since all possible checks in fd_is_mount_point() rely on *at(, "..") which doesn't work for files, one solution that I see is to add a fallback path_is_mountpoint() if fd_is_mount_point() fails with ENOTDIR; in that case, should we implement all fallbacks again (lots of duplicated code), or just one (st_dev comparison, which seems the most widely supported one)? Alternatively we could pass a "parent_path" to fd_is_mount_point(), compute that in path_is_mountpoint(), and don't specify one (or maybe we even can specify it easily, I didn't check) in rm_rf_children() as file bind mounts don't seem relevant there. This would be simpler, but it would technically be an API break (unless we want to add fd_is_mount_point_with_parent). Does anyone have a better idea?
