Oh, then my patch description (and my understanding of the root
problem) is wrong. In my debugging session, io_file_get() on that fd
returned NULL, so I assumed O_PATH doesn't have that, but maybe there
are other reasons.
In any case, with a "real" fd, io_uring openat() succeeds, and my
patch makes the problem with O_PATH go away.
I guess I need to learn more about what happens inside io_file_get().
