Can you explain what you mean? You should add support for AT_EMPTY_PATH (LOOKUP_EMPTY) as well as AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW. It would only require something like: unsigned int lookup_flags = LOOKUP_FOLLOW; if (flags & ~(AT_EMPTY_PATH | AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW)) return -EINVAL; if (flags & AT_EMPTY_PATH) lookup_flags |= LOOKUP_EMPTY; if (flags & AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) lookup_flags &= ~LOOKUP_FOLLOW; /* ... */ This would be effectively equivalent to fchmod(fd, mode). (I was wrong when I said this wasn't already possible -- I forgot about fchmod(2).) -- Aleksa Sarai Senior Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH <https://www.cyphar.com/>
