[LTP] [PATCH STAGING v2 07/16] fchroot04: test fchroot() into failfs as root

[Andrea Cervesato]

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

Verify that entering failfs with the FD_FAILFS_ROOT sentinel succeeds
with CAP_SYS_CHROOT and that every absolute path lookup then fails
with EOPNOTSUPP, while the working directory is reported as
unreachable by getcwd().

+ * Test :manpage:`fchroot(2)` with the ``FD_FAILFS_ROOT`` sentinel as a
+ * privileged process.
+ *
+ * :manpage:`fchroot(2)` was introduced in Linux v7.3 together with failfs,
+ * a kernel internal filesystem where every operation fails with
+ * ``EOPNOTSUPP``. The ``FD_FAILFS_ROOT`` sentinel moves the process root
+ * there without needing a file descriptor: it is the ``fs_struct`` equivalent
+ * of ``RESOLVE_BENEATH``.
+ *
+ * The test verifies that entering failfs succeeds with ``CAP_SYS_CHROOT`` and
+ * that every absolute path lookup then fails with ``EOPNOTSUPP``. The working
+ * directory, left behind in the real filesystem, is consequently reported
+ * as unreachable by :manpage:`getcwd(2)`.
+ *
+ * The syscall runs in a forked child because leaving failfs requires a
+ * mount namespace file descriptor and the parent needs its root for the
+ * test framework cleanup.
