[PATCH] io_uring-writev: open output file through io_uring

[PATCH] io_uring-writev: open output file through io_uring

[frezidok1]

From: Dmitry Sakhonchik <frezidok1@gmail.com>

The existing test creates the output file with open(), which ends up
using openat() and is therefore intercepted by pseudo before the actual
io_uring write operation happens.

Use IORING_OP_OPENAT to create the output file through io_uring as well.
This makes the test successfully bypass pseudo

io-uring-writev.bb: wrynose doesn't support "S = ${WORKDIR}" anymore, fix it

Hi Dmitry,

I suspect this was targeting Martin's branch and not master? Otherwise
we are missing the commits adding the io-uring-writev recipes.

Thanks,
Mathieu

Hi.

Yes, it’s for Martin’s branch, he’s already merged it. I just couldn’t
figure out how to specify a branch I am applying to.
