[Bug 1010069] Re: bits/fcntl.h does not define AT_EMPTY_PATH

[Brian Murray]

Hello Serge, or anyone else affected,

Accepted eglibc into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/2.15-0ubuntu10.3
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  bits/fcntl.h does not define AT_EMPTY_PATH

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “eglibc” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  [Impact]
  A fix is needed for qemu-kvm to compile the virtio-9p-handle.c file.

  [Development Fix]
  This is fixed in quantal.

  [Stable Fix]
  A fix can be backported from quantal into precise.

  [Test Case]
  Try to compile the virtio-9p-handle.c file in qemu-kvm.

  [Regression Potential]
  This patch adds AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW, AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT, AT_EMPTY_PATH, and AT_EACCESS to the proper fcntl.h files.

  This bug is not upstream, and the define is too new to appear in
  debian.  Upstream, AT_EMPTY_PATH is defined in io/fcntl.h.  In debian,
  debian/patches/any/submitted-bits-fcntl_h-at.diff moves the *AT
  defines into the per-arch bits/fcntl.h files.  The ubuntu-specific
  merge of newer upstream updated the patch doing so to remove the
  AT_EMPTY_PATH with the rest of that blcok from io/fcntl.c, but does
  not add it to the bits/fcntl.h files.

  This is needed for qemu-kvm to compile the virtio-9p-handle.c file.

  A debdiff is attached which adds the definition.
