Subject: [PATCH] vfs: new O_NODE open flag
Reseding this patch which I've forgotten about a bit, but David
Howells reminded me. Thanks, David.
It received positive responses from Linus and others at the last
submission.
Al, could you please take a look?
Thanks,
Miklos

From: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@...redi.hu>
This patch adds a new open flag, O_NODE. This flag means: open just
the filesystem node instead of the object referenced by the node.
Opening a file will not call the driver's ->open() method and will not
have any side effect other than referencing the dentry/vfsmount from
the struct file pointer.
Currently O_NODE can only be used together with O_NOACCESS (value 3),
meaning that read(2) and write(2) will return EBADF and no permission
is necessary to open the file. This is logical for device nodes and
fifos. For directories we could allow O_RDONLY, and for regular files
any access mode, but this is not done yet.
O_NODE used together with O_NOFOLLOW will open a symlink node itself
instead of returning ELOOP. O_NOFOLLOW will not prevent following
mountpoints if used together with O_NODE. In theory we could allow
O_RDONLY for symlinks too and return the contents of the link on
read(2).
Filesystems which want to install special file operations for O_NODE
opens (e.g. ioctl) may set S_OPEN_NODE flag in the inode. This will
cause dentry_open() to call inode->i_fop->open, and the filesystem is
responsible for handling the O_NODE flag and installing the right
filesystem operations in file->f_op.
