Just to be sure, has any one tested the patch (I can't, I am not doing
Linux kernel development and the closest here to me here only does
Solaris/Illumos and SUPERUX kernel development)?
My test case, which works on Solaris and AIX is below. You will have
to do a s/O_SEARCH/O_PATH/
-------- snip --------
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int ac, char *av[])
{
int dirfd, dupdirfd;
dirfd=open("/etc", O_SEARCH);
if(dirfd<0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "open() failed.\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
dupdirfd = fcntl(dirfd, F_DUPFD, 50);
if(dirfd<0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "fcntl() failed.\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
if(fchdir(dupdirfd)<0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "fchdir(dupdirfd) failed.\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
if(fchdir(dirfd)<0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "fchdir(dirfd) failed.\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
if(openat(dupdirfd, "profile", O_RDONLY)<0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "openat(dupdirfd, profile, O_RDONLY)
failed.\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
dirfd=openat(dupdirfd, "krb5", O_SEARCH);
if(dirfd<0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "openat(dupdirfd, krb5, O_SEARCH) failed.\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
if(fchdir(dirfd)<0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "2nd fchdir(dirfd) failed.\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
puts("SUCCESS.");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
