Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v5 08/14] fchroot07: test execve blocked by failfs root
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 12:16:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020-fchroot-v5-8-63aa6faff503@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020-fchroot-v5-0-63aa6faff503@suse.com>
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Verify that after fchroot() moved the root into failfs, loading a
binary by absolute path fails with EOPNOTSUPP. The exec runs in a
grandchild so a wrongly successful exec is still detected through
the exit code.
