[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/4] 9pfs: local: resolve special directories in paths

[Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>]

When using the mapped-file security mode, the creds of a path /foo/bar
are stored in the /foo/.virtfs_metadata/bar file. This is okay for all
paths unless they end with '.' or '..', because we cannot create the
corresponding file in the metadata directory.

This patch ensures that '.' and '..' are resolved in all paths.

The core code only passes path elements (no '/') to the backend, with
the notable exception of the '/' path, which refers to the virtfs root.
This patch preserves the current behavior of converting it to '.' so
that it can be passed to "*at()" syscalls ('/' would mean the host root).
