[PATCH RFC v2 03/10] openat2: explicitly return -E2BIG for (usize > PAGE_SIZE)

From: Aleksa Sarai
Date: Thu Sep 05 2024 - 10:59:52 EST


While we do currently return -EFAULT in this case, it seems prudent to
follow the behaviour of other syscalls like clone3. It seems quite
unlikely that anyone depends on this error code being EFAULT, but we can
always revert this if it turns out to be an issue.
