Sorry for being a bit late to the game, but.. Why is the useful tmpfile functionality multiplexed over open when it has very different semantics from a normal open? In addition to the flag problems already discussed to death it also just leads to splattering of the code in the implementaiton, given that path_openat branches out really early in path_openat. What's the problem with a clear single purpose tmpfile() system call? -- 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
