Hi,

I came upon this "Ability to only open regular files" uapi feature suggestion
from https://uapi-group.org/kernel-features/#ability-to-only-open-regular-files
and thought it would be something I could do as a first patch and get to
know the kernel code a bit better.

The following filesystems have been tested by building and booting the kernel
x86 bzImage in a Fedora 43 VM in QEMU. I have tested with OPENAT2_REGULAR that
regular files can be successfully opened and non-regular files (directory, fifo etc)
return -EFTYPE.
- btrfs
- NFS (loopback)
- SMB (loopback)

Changes in v6:
- OPENAT2_REGULAR stripped from file->f_flags in do_dentry_open so that it doesn't leak in fcntl(fd, F_GETFL)
- BUILD_BUG_ON updated to use VALID_OPENAT2_FLAGS instead of VALID_OPEN_FLAGS in build_open_flags and in fcntl_init
- v5 is at: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20260307140726.70219-1-dorjoychy111@gmail.com/T/

Changes in v5:
- EFTYPE is already used in BSDs mentioned in commit message
- consistently return -EFTYPE in all filesystems
- v4 is at: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20260221145915.81749-1-dorjoychy111@gmail.com/T/

Changes in v4:
- changed O_REGULAR to OPENAT2_REGULAR
- OPENAT2_REGULAR does not affect O_PATH
- atomic_open codepaths updated to work properly for OPENAT2_REGULAR
- commit message includes the uapi-group URL
- v3 is at: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20260127180109.66691-1-dorjoychy111@gmail.com/T/

Changes in v3:
- included motivation about O_REGULAR flag in commit message e.g., programs not wanting to be tricked into opening device nodes
- fixed commit message wrongly referencing ENOTREGULAR instead of ENOTREG
- fixed the O_REGULAR flag in arch/parisc/include/uapi/asm/fcntl.h from 060000000 to 0100000000
- added 2 commits converting arch/{mips,sparc}/include/uapi/asm/fcntl.h O_* macros from hex to octal
- v2 is at: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20260126154156.55723-1-dorjoychy111@gmail.com/T/

Changes in v2:
- rename ENOTREGULAR to ENOTREG
- define ENOTREG in uapi/asm-generic/errno.h (instead of errno-base.h) and in arch/*/include/uapi/asm/errno.h files
- override O_REGULAR in arch/{alpha,sparc,parisc}/include/uapi/asm/fcntl.h due to clash with include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h
- I have kept the kselftest but now that O_REGULAR and ENOTREG can have different value on different architectures I am not sure if it's right
- v1 is at: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20260125141518.59493-1-dorjoychy111@gmail.com/T/

Thanks.

Regards,
Dorjoy

This flag indicates the path should be opened if it's a regular file.
This is useful to write secure programs that want to avoid being
tricked into opening device nodes with special semantics while thinking
they operate on regular files. This is a requested feature from the
uapi-group[1].

A corresponding error code EFTYPE has been introduced. For example, if
openat2 is called on path /dev/null with OPENAT2_REGULAR in the flag
param, it will return -EFTYPE. EFTYPE is already used in BSD systems
like FreeBSD, macOS.

When used in combination with O_CREAT, either the regular file is
created, or if the path already exists, it is opened if it's a regular
file. Otherwise, -EFTYPE is returned.

When OPENAT2_REGULAR is combined with O_DIRECTORY, -EINVAL is returned
as it doesn't make sense to open a path that is both a directory and a
regular file.
