I've got another use case for that: Samba. It wants to inherit all kinds of attributes (xattrs, modes, etc) during file creation, and right now it's doing it in a racy way. I've come up with a patch to use O_TEMPFILE + flink, but it turns out that Samba may as well be asked to create read-only files, which we can't create using O_TMPFILE. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
