Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v5 09/14] fchroot08: test failfs root fork inheritance
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 12:16:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020-fchroot-v5-9-63aa6faff503@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020-fchroot-v5-0-63aa6faff503@suse.com>
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Verify that the root moved into failfs by fchroot() lives in the
fs_struct which is duplicated on fork, so a child of a process with
the failfs root also fails every absolute path lookup with
EOPNOTSUPP.
