The three instances of ovl_path_open() in overlayfs/readdir.c do three different things: - pass f_flags from overlay file - pass O_RDONLY | O_DIRECTORY - pass just O_RDONLY The value of f_flags can be (other than O_RDONLY): O_WRONLY - not possible for a directory O_RDWR - not possible for a directory O_CREAT - masked out by dentry_open() O_EXCL - masked out by dentry_open() O_NOCTTY - masked out by dentry_open() O_TRUNC - masked out by dentry_open() O_APPEND - no effect on directory ops O_NDELAY - no effect on directory ops O_NONBLOCK - no effect on directory ops __O_SYNC - no effect on directory ops O_DSYNC - no effect on directory ops FASYNC - no effect on directory ops O_DIRECT - no effect on directory ops O_LARGEFILE - ? O_DIRECTORY - only affects lookup O_NOFOLLOW - only affects lookup O_NOATIME - overlay sets this unconditionally in ovl_path_open() O_CLOEXEC - only affects fd allocation O_PATH - no effect on directory ops __O_TMPFILE - not possible for a directory Fon non-merge directories we use the underlying filesystem's iterate; in this case honor O_LARGEFILE from the original file to make sure that open doesn't get rejected. For merge directories it's safe to pass O_LARGEFILE unconditionally since userspace will only see the artificial offsets created by overlayfs. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
