Subject: [PATCH v3 04/15] mount_service: use openat to OPEN paths
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 15:10:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930-mount-service-bound-open-v3-4-e26c5e4eca4c@bsbernd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930-mount-service-bound-open-v3-0-e26c5e4eca4c@bsbernd.com>

The fuse server sends fuservicemount3 a series of requests: OPEN for
its backing file, MNTPT to name the mount point, then MOUNT. The server
chooses the order. For a directory mount point, attach_to_mountpoint()
changes the working directory of the helper to the mount point. The
helper then mounts on ".", so a rename of the path cannot redirect the
mount.

A relative path in an OPEN request after MNTPT resolved inside the
mount point. For "fuservicemount3 disk.img /mnt -t fuse.service_ll",
an OPEN of "disk.img" matched the command line argument, but the helper
opened /mnt/disk.img, not disk.img in the user's working directory. The
helper now opens OPEN paths with openat() on the working directory it
started in.
