Subject: [PATCH 1/2] selftests/filesystems/openat2: fix O_LARGEFILE definitions for non-arm64 architectures
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 15:27:05 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917095707.16986-1-disgoel@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The openat2_test.c code previously hardcoded O_LARGEFILE to 0x8000 on
all architectures other than arm64 (aarch64).
However, on several architectures this value is different. For example,
on PowerPC (including ppc64le), O_LARGEFILE is defined as 0x10000,
whereas 0x8000 is actually O_NOFOLLOW.
This mismatch caused the flag_validation test case to pass
O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW instead of O_PATH | O_LARGEFILE. Since
O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW is a valid and compatible flag combination, the
kernel successfully opened the file instead of failing with -EINVAL,
causing a false test failure on PowerPC.
Fix this by introducing proper architecture-specific definitions for
O_LARGEFILE matching their respective UAPI asm/fcntl.h values.
