Subject: [LTP] [PATCH 00/16] fchroot: add fchroot() testing suite
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 23:24:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819-fchroot-v1-0-2dc2c3c3cf29@suse.com> (raw)
fchroot() is a new syscall introduced in the Linux v7.3 development
cycle together with failfs, a kernel internal filesystem where every
operation fails with EOPNOTSUPP. The syscall is the fd-based
counterpart of chroot(2): it moves the process root to the directory
referenced by a file descriptor, or to the failfs root via the
FD_FAILFS_ROOT sentinel.
The series first updates the architecture syscall number tables and
adds lapi fallback definitions for the new fd sentinels, then adds 13
tests covering:
- the basic directory fd use case and the argument error paths
(EINVAL, EBADF, ENOTDIR)
- the permission checks, both execute permission and CAP_SYS_CHROOT
- entering failfs as root: EOPNOTSUPP on every absolute lookup,
unreachable working directory, root that can not be referenced or
pinned, path walks anchored at file descriptors, execve blocked,
fork inheritance and the setns() escape
- the unprivileged entry rules: no_new_privs, shared fs_struct and
the already chrooted case
fchroot() is not part of any released kernel yet, so the tests are
added to runtest/staging and each patch carries the [STAGING] prefix
as required by the LTP ground rules.
The testing suite creation has been assisted by GLM 5.3.
