Hi, Andrey,
Seems like a useful feature. Make sure to cc linux-api@vger.kernel.org
for new userspace interfaces. One comment on the implementation below.

You're not initializing nd->root_seq here. That means that if we end up
going through unlazy_walk(), we're going to call legitimize_path() (and
thus read_seqcount_retry()) with stack garbage, get a spurious ECHILD,
and do an unnecessary restart of the path lookup instead of dropping
into ref-walk mode.

Same here.
The following should do the trick:
diff --git a/fs/namei.c b/fs/namei.c
index 9958b605e822..101d1fb8d3cb 100644
