Subject: [Virtio-fs] [PATCH] virtiofsd: Open fd O_RDONLY in setxattr/removexattr
Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2020 15:24:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200108202422.GF1995@redhat.com> (raw)

Do not open fd O_RDWR as it will fail for directories with EISDIR. This
code can be called both for regular files as well as directories.

I noticed this when I tried "setfattr -n user.foo -v test <dir>" inside
the guest and got EISDIR.

To write xattr, we don't have to open fd with write permissions. Looks
like kernel will do permission checks on inode.
