5daeb41a6fThis allows userspace to avoid going through /proc/self/fd when dealing with all types of file descriptors for chmod(), and makes fchmodat2() a proper superset of all other chmod syscalls. The primary difference between fchmodat2(AT_EMPTY_PATH) and fchmod() is that fchmod() doesn't operate on O_PATH file descriptors by design. To quote open(2): > O_PATH (since Linux 2.6.39) > [...] > The file itself is not opened, and other file operations (e.g., > read(2), write(2), fchmod(2), fchown(2), fgetxattr(2), ioctl(2), > mmap(2)) fail with the error EBADF. However, procfs has allowed userspace to do this operation ever since the introduction of O_PATH through magic-links, so adding this feature is only an improvement for programs that have to mess around with /proc/self/fd/$n today to get this behaviour. In addition, fchownat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) has existed since the introduction of O_PATH and allows chown() operations directly on O_PATH descriptors.

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.
