Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fhandle: create helper for name_to_handle_at(2)
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 17:54:26 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250814235431.995876-2-tahbertschinger@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250814235431.995876-1-tahbertschinger@gmail.com>

Create a helper do_name_to_handle_at() that takes an additional argument,
lookup_flags, beyond the syscall arguments.

Because name_to_handle_at(2) doesn't take any lookup flags, it always
passes 0 for this argument.

Future callers like io_uring may pass LOOKUP_CACHED in order to request
a non-blocking lookup.

This helper's name is confusingly similar to do_sys_name_to_handle()
which takes care of returning the file handle, once the filename has
been turned into a struct path. To distinguish the names more clearly,
rename the latter to do_path_to_handle().
