These tests exercise the following truncation operations: * truncate() (truncate by path) * ftruncate() (truncate by file descriptor) * open with the O_TRUNC flag * special case: creat(), which is open with O_CREAT|O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC. in the following scenarios: * Files with read, write and truncate rights. * Files with read and truncate rights. * Files with the truncate right. * Files without the truncate right. In particular, the following scenarios are enforced with the test: * open() with O_TRUNC requires the truncate right, if it truncates a file. open() already checks security_path_truncate() in this case, and it required no additional check in the Landlock LSM's file_open hook. * creat() requires the truncate right when called with an existing filename. * creat() does *not* require the truncate right when it's creating a new file. * ftruncate() requires that the file was opened by a thread that had the truncate right for the file at the time of open(). (The rights are carried along with the opened file.)

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.
