If AT_EMPTY_PATH is not in one of the included files, go ahead and
define it. qemu won't compile on ubuntu for me without this.
(Note - alternatively we could #include <linux/fcntl.h> to pick
up the definitions there)

Hi Anthony,
currently QEMU 1.1 doesn't compile virtfs correctly on Ubuntu:
qemu/hw/9pfs/virtio-9p-handle.c: In function ‘handle_update_file_cred’:
qemu/hw/9pfs/virtio-9p-handle.c:66:58: error: ‘AT_EMPTY_PATH’ undeclared (first use in this function)
qemu/hw/9pfs/virtio-9p-handle.c:66:58: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

a patch was sent on the 24th of Feb to fix the issue (also see below):
http://marc.info/?l=qemu-devel&m=133011313912147
Even though it is not particularly pretty, in the absence of better
alternatives it should probably be applied.
Cheers,
Stefano

The patch will fix the compiler error messages, but will the
resulting code work? Maybe it has runtime dependencies
(Linux kernel?) which should be checked at runtime.
Would an enhanced test in configure be a better solution?
It could disable VirtFS automatically if the definitions
are missing.
On Ubuntu Lenny, there is no definition for AT_EMPTY_PATH,
not even in linux/fcntl.h.

Stefan W.

Then why don't we do that ? I do get the below errors
In file included from /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm/fcntl.h:1:0,
from /usr/include/linux/fcntl.h:4,
from /home/opensource/sources/qemu/qemu-upstream/hw/9pfs/virtio-9p-handle.c:28:

In file included from /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm/fcntl.h:1:0,

Are they do to ubuntu multi-arch changes ?

True, the flag is newer than I thought. How could the configure option
be enhanced? Could we simply grep for it in /usr/include/linux/fcntl.h,
set an option saying it exists, then still do the #ifndef in
hw/9pfs/virtio-9p-handle.c?
(The problem is that the glibc and linux headers are currently not
compatible... a separate problem, yes, but one I can't currently
overcome AFAIK)

I don't think so. I got these awhile ago as well. The libc and linux
headers simply don't seem to be compatible.

I'd use virtio-9p-handle only if AT_EMPTY_PATH is defined without
requiring a hack like using linux/fcntl.h.
configure can check that. Should I send a patch which does this check?

That'd be great, please do - thanks!

We enable virtio-9p-handle only if open_by_handle_at is supported by
glibc. And if open_by_handle_at is supported by glibc AT_EMPTY_PATH
should also be there, because they all went in linux kernel for the same
feature set. So if glibc didn't pick AT_EMPTY_PATH definition and
took open_by_handle_at feature, it should be fixed in glibc.
BTW I am still not clear why including linux/fcntl.h gives those
compile errors. IMHO fixing those errors and including linux/fcntl.h in
virtio-9p-handle.c would be a better fix than redefining these constants.
