[PATCH] open.2: No need for /proc to make an O_TMPFILE file permanent

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

 



In the example snippet, we already have the fd, thus there's no
need to refer to the file by name.  And, /proc/ might be not mounted
or not accessible.
