Could we just plainly avoid adding any new syscalls which take a filename without extending the interface like the *at functions? I.e., add a file descriptor parameter, handle AT_FDCWD, etc. The additional effort is really minimal. Even if, as in this case, the function is propably not used in situations where the filename use is racy there are still those people to consider who want to implement a virtual per-thread current working directory. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
