Merge tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.openat2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull openat2 updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2). To get an operable file descriptor from an O_PATH file descriptor it is possible to use openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other file types require going through open("/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>") and thus depend on a functioning procfs. With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included. - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code. This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends. All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code. The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only call finish_open() on freshly created files and use finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular files via the do_open() safety net. Cleanups: - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest harness is much easier to follow and maintain. The contents of the tests are unchanged and the new emptypath tests are ported on top. - Make the LAST_XXX last-type constants private to fs/namei.c. The only user outside of fs/namei.c was ksmbd which only needs to know whether the last component is a regular one, so vfs_path_parent_lookup() now performs the LAST_NORM check internally. The ints are replaced with a dedicated enum last_type" * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.openat2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: vfs: replace ints with enum last_type for LAST_XXX vfs: make LAST_XXX private to fs/namei.c selftests: openat2: port emptypath_test to kselftest harness kselftest/openat2: test for OPENAT2_REGULAR flag openat2: new OPENAT2_REGULAR flag support openat2: introduce EFTYPE error code selftest: add tests for O_EMPTYPATH vfs: add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2) selftests: openat2: migrate to kselftest harness selftests: openat2: switch from custom ARRAY_LEN to ARRAY_SIZE selftests: openat2: move helpers to header selftests: move openat2 tests to selftests/filesystems/
