Subject[PATCHv3 0/3] fs: add O_BENEATH flag to openat(2)
Date
This change adds a new O_BENEATH flag for openat(2) which restricts the
provided path, rejecting (with -EPERM) paths that are not beneath
the provided dfd.

This change was originally included as part of a larger patchset
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/25/426) for Capsicum support; however, it
is potentially useful as an independent change so I've pulled it out
separately here.

In particular, various folks from Chrome[OS] have indicated an interest
in having this functionality -- when combined with a seccomp filter it
allows a directory to be accessed by a sandboxed process.


Changes since v2:
- Move tests into xfstests [Dave Chinner, with thanks for feedback
on initial version]
- Merge up to v4.0-rc3 & latest man-pages

Changes since v1:
- Don't needlessly duplicate flags [Al Viro]
- Use EPERM rather than EACCES as error code [Paolo Bonzini]
- Disallow nd_jump_link for O_BENEATH [Al Viro/Andy Lutomirski]
- Add test of a jumped symlink (/proc/self/root)

Changes since the version included in the Capsicum v2 patchset:
- Add tests of normal symlinks
- Fix man-page typo
- Update patch to 3.17

Changes from v1 to v2 of Capsicum patchset:
- renamed O_BENEATH_ONLY to O_BENEATH [Christoph Hellwig]
