Subject: v7.0-rc1, name_to_handle_at(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH)
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 19:44:58 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <14544.1772189098@jrotkm2> (raw)
Hello Al Viro,
By the commit in v7.0-rc1,
154ef7dce6a4d 2026-01-16 name_to_handle_at(): use CLASS(filename_uflags)
name_to_handle_at(2) stopped handling AT_EMPTY_PATH, and an application
which issues
name_to_handle_at(fd, "", handle, &mnt_id, AT_EMPTY_PATH);
started failing.
It is due to the commit dropped setting LOOKUP_EMPTY to lookup_flags in
name_to_handle_at(2).
The commit log is empty and I'd ask you "Is it intentional or an
accident?"
