From: Corinna Vinschen <cori...@vinschen.de> The GLIBC extension AT_EMPTY_PATH allows the functions fchownat and fstatat to operate on dirfd alone, if the given pathname is an empty string. This also allows to operate on any file type, not only directories.
Commit fa84aa4dd2fb4 broke this. It only allows dirfd to be a directory in calls to these two functions. Fix that by handling AT_EMPTY_PATH right in gen_full_path_at. A valid dirfd and an empty pathname is now a valid combination and, noticably, this returns a valid path in path_ret. That in turn allows to remove the additional path generation code from the callers.
