I only tested this new flag on my local system (fedora btrfs). Note that I had submitted a v4 previously (that had -EINVAL for the atomic_open code paths) but did not do a get_maintainers.pl. It didn't get any review and please ignore that one anyway. In this version, I have tried to properly update the filesystems that provide atomic_open (fs/ceph, fs/nfs, fs/smb, fs/gfs2, fs/fuse, fs/vboxsf, fs/9p) for the new OPENAT2_REGULAR flag. Some of them (fs/fuse, fs/vboxsf, fs/9p) didn't need any changing. As far as I see, most of the filesystems do finish_no_open for ~O_CREAT and have file->f_mode |= FMODE_CREATED for the O_CREAT code path which I assume means they always create new file which is a regular file. OPENAT2_REGULAR | O_DIRECTORY returns -EINVAL (instead of working if path is either a directory or regular file) as it was easier to reason about when making changes in all the filesystems. 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.
