From be7efb2d20d67f334a7de2aef77ae6c69367e646 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Albershteyn Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2025 18:20:16 +0200 Subject: fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat() semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended attributes. This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd. This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory and a path - *at() like syscall.
