Now that we provide a unique 64-bit mount ID interface in statx(2), we
can now provide a race-free way for name_to_handle_at(2) to provide a
file handle and corresponding mount without needing to worry about
racing with /proc/mountinfo parsing or having to open a file just to do
statx(2).
While this is not necessary if you are using AT_EMPTY_PATH and don't
care about an extra statx(2) call, users that pass full paths into
name_to_handle_at(2) need to know which mount the file handle comes from
(to make sure they don't try to open_by_handle_at a file handle from a
different filesystem) and switching to AT_EMPTY_PATH would require
allocating a file for every name_to_handle_at(2) call, turning
err = name_to_handle_at(-EBADF, "/foo/bar/baz", &handle, &mntid,
AT_HANDLE_MNT_ID_UNIQUE);
into
int fd = openat(-EBADF, "/foo/bar/baz", O_PATH | O_CLOEXEC);
err1 = name_to_handle_at(fd, "", &handle, &unused_mntid, AT_EMPTY_PATH);
err2 = statx(fd, "", AT_EMPTY_PATH, STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE, &statxbuf);
mntid = statxbuf.stx_mnt_id;
close(fd);
