Summary

This is a no-op for now since the sole caller passes fd=ndp->ni_dirfd,
but the old code was still wrong. For some reason I do not see a
warning about "fd" being unused.

What is the expected semantic for the case of fd != ndp->ni_dirfd?

My first reaction to the patch was to propose removing the fd argument instead.

Indeed, it does not make much sense.

Same for fgetvp_lookup_smr() then, I suppose?

Definitely. Also perhaps it is time to remove the CAPABILITIES option.

I'm for it. There was this attempt which apparently failed: D10776. The reasons are probably mostly gone since arm64's compat32 support has evolved and mips is gone. Maybe @oshogbo or @emaste have an opinion on this?

  • Remove the "fd" parameter entirely.
  • Update fgetvp_lookup_smr() similarly.
