Subject: [PATCH] linux-user: fix name_to_handle_at when AT_HANDLE_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag is set
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 22:59:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325-fix-name-to-handle-at-v1-1-49fb922e6fd3@craftyguy.net> (raw)
Linux 6.12 added AT_HANDLE_MNT_ID_UNIQUE, which indicates that mount_id
is 64-bits. If name_to_handle_at is called with this flag set then qemu
passes a 4 byte int to the kernel, which then tries to store 8 bytes in
a 4 byte variable, causing a SIGSEGV[1][2].
This stores mount_id in a 64-bit var if the flag is set.

This fixes a crash experienced recently while running qemu user mode
with e.g. systemd which set AT_HANDLE_MNT_ID_UNIQUE when calling
name_to_handle_at. AT_HANDLE_MNT_ID_UNIQUE was added in Linux 6.12.
I'm a bit unsure of defining AT_HANDLE_MNT_ID_UNIQUE like this,
it's part of linux/fcntl.h but this header isn't included in
qemu/linux-headers.
