[RFC PATCH v4 2/4] fs: add AT_LINK_REPLACE flag for linkat() which replaces the target

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx>

One of the most common uses of temporary files is the classic atomic
replacement pattern, i.e.,

- write temporary file
- fsync temporary file
- rename temporary file over real file
- fsync parent directory

Now, we have O_TMPFILE, which gives us a much better way to create
temporary files, but it's not possible to use it for this pattern.

This patch introduces an AT_LINK_REPLACE flag which allows linkat() to
replace the target file. Now, the temporary file in the pattern above
can be a proper O_TMPFILE. Even without O_TMPFILE, this is a new
primitive which might be useful in other contexts.

The implementation on the VFS side mimics sys_renameat2().
