Subject: [PATCH] fs/xattr: actually support O_PATH fds in *xattrat() syscalls
Date: Wed, 05 Feb 2025 20:47:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250205204628.49607-1-me@yhndnzj.com> (raw)

Cited from commit message of original patch [1]:

> One use case will be setfiles(8) setting SELinux file contexts
> ("security.selinux") without race conditions and without a file
> descriptor opened with read access requiring SELinux read permission.

Also, generally all *at() syscalls operate on O_PATH fds, unlike
f*() ones. Yet the O_PATH fds are rejected by *xattrat() syscalls
in the final version merged into tree. Instead, let's switch things
to CLASS(fd_raw).

Note that there's one side effect: f*xattr() starts to work with
O_PATH fds too. It's not clear to me whether this is desirable
(e.g. fstat() accepts O_PATH fds as an outlier).
