[PATCH 2/2] fs: allow to use dirfd as root for openat and other *at syscalls

From: Andrey Vagin
Date: Fri Jun 17 2016 - 16:21:05 EST


The problem is that a pathname can contain absolute symlinks and now
they are resolved relative to the current root.

If you want to open a file in another mount namespaces and you have
a file descriptor to its root directory, you probably want that the
pathname is resolved in the target mount namespace and in this case you
can use a new flag O_ATROOT or AT_FDROOT.
