mount/linux: add a safe wrapper for open_tree(2)

Open lucab opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

This adds an ergonomic wrapper for the Linux-specific open_tree(2) syscall, using safe-io file descriptors. The syscall has been introduced in kernel version 5.2 and allows FD-based manipulation of mount hierarchies.

Mmh, it looks like the libc crate is missing some constants on Android and uclibc. I'll try to find some time to look into that.

Ok, I landed several fixes in libc and now the CI here is green. This is ready for review.
