Out of openat flag space

[David Legault <legault.david@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Now that we have O_TMPFILE and O_BENEATH added to the openat flags, there is no space left to add more flags since the flags variable is a 32 bit int. How does one resolve this issue and extend this? A new syscall with a 64bit wide flags support?

Thanks

David
