[RFC PATCH 1/2] fs: name_to_handle_at() support for connectable file handles

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

 



nfsd encodes "connectable" file handles for the subtree_check feature.
So far, userspace nfs server could not make use of this functionality.

Introduce a new flag AT_HANDLE_CONNECTABLE to name_to_handle_at(2).
When used, the encoded file handle is "connectable".

Note that decoding a "connectable" file handle with open_by_handle_at(2)
is not guarandteed to return a "connected" fd (i.e. fd with known path).
A new opt-in API would be needed to guarantee a "connected" fd.
