One of the key architectual tenets of io-uring is to keep the
parameters for io-uring stable. After the call has been submitted,
its value can be changed. Unfortunaltely this is not the case for
the current statx implementation.
Patches:
Patch 1: fs: replace const char* parameter in vfs_statx and do_statx with
struct filename
Create filename object outside of do_statx and vfs_statx, so io-uring
can create the filename object during the prepare phase
Patch 2: io-uring: Copy path name during prepare stage for statx
Create and store filename object during prepare phase
There is also a patch for the liburing libray to add a new test case. This
patch makes sure that the api is stable.
"liburing: add test for stable statx api"
The patch has been tested with the liburing test suite and fstests.
