[RFC PATCH v2 0/2] vfs: syscalls: add mkdirat2() that returns an O_DIRECTORY fd

[Jori Koolstra <jkoolstra@xs4all.nl>]

This series implements the mkdirat2() syscall that was suggested over
at the UAPI group kernel feature page [1] with some tests.

Obviously, we probably also want to implement equivalent mknodeat2() and
symlinkat2() syscalls, but their implementation can be done quite similar
I believe.

This has been compiled and tested on x86 only.

v2:
- Use AT_* flags.
- Ensure an fd is allocated only if mkdir and open_dentry succeed.
- The returned fd gets O_CLOEXEC by default.
- Renamed syscall from mkdirat_fd() to mkdirat2().
