Re: [PATCH 3/5] WIP: fs: ext4: support unlinkat_s() for secure deletion of files

[Alexander Holler <holler@ahsoftware.de>]

BTW.,

if someone still likes my trivial approach and thinks the patches might 
be usable because they contain just a few silly changes which might be 
easily rebased onto future kernel versions, I suggest to get rid of the 
new syscall and just use something like

#define AT_WIPE           0x2000

in include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h

for using the old unlinkat() with that new flag. That's much easier to 
handle than a new syscall which likely never will end up in the kernel 
and makes my silly patches even more simple.

Regards,

Alexander Holler
