From: Max Kellermann <[email protected]> Based on commit 63ff822358b276137059520cf16e587e8073e80f upstream.
If an operation's flag `needs_file` is set, the function io_req_set_file() calls io_file_get() to obtain a `struct file*`. This fails for `O_PATH` file descriptors, because io_file_get() calls fget(), which rejects `O_PATH` file descriptors. To support `O_PATH`, fdget_raw() must be used (like path_init() in `fs/namei.c` does). This rejection causes io_req_set_file() to throw `-EBADF`. This breaks the operations `openat`, `openat2` and `statx`, where `O_PATH` file descriptors are commonly used. This could be solved by adding support for `O_PATH` file descriptors with another `io_op_def` flag, but since those three operations don't need the `struct file*` but operate directly on the numeric file descriptors, the best solution here is to simply remove `needs_file` (and the accompanying flag `fd_non_reg`).
