Subject[PATCH 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 -EACCES) paths that are not beneath
the provided dfd.

This change was previously 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.


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]

selftests: Add test of O_BENEATH & openat(2)
