Hi Al, everyone,
I've come across the following odd behaviour of open() on tmpfs. When a
file is opened open("/dev/shm/foo", O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_DIRECT),
open() fails with EINVAL. This failure is expected, as tmpfs doesn't
support O_DIRECT. What is unexpected is that the file is created and a
subsequent attempt to create the file by doing an open("/dev/shm/foo",
O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL). I consider this to be a bug. Al, any
thoughts?
