Re: [PATCH 3/5] WIP: fs: ext4: support unlinkat_s() for secure deletion of files

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

 



BTW.,

if someone still likes my trivial approach and thinks the patches might be usable because they contain just a few silly changes which might be easily rebased onto future kernel versions, I suggest to get rid of the new syscall and just use something like

#define AT_WIPE           0x2000

in include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h

for using the old unlinkat() with that new flag. That's much easier to handle than a new syscall which likely never will end up in the kernel and makes my silly patches even more simple.

Regards,

Alexander Holler
