[LTP] [PATCH STAGING v4 04/16] fchroot01: test fchroot() with a directory fd
Andrea Cervesato

Mon Aug 31 10:00:05 CEST 2026
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Verify that fchroot() with a directory fd moves the process root to
the directory referenced by the fd.
fchroot() was introduced in Linux v7.3, so the test is added to the
staging runtest file.
