Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/5] WIP: fs: ext4: support unlinkat_s() for secure deletion of files
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2015 19:50:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54D11872.2050701@ahsoftware.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <54D0F977.3080608@ahsoftware.de>
BTW.,
if someone still likes my trivial approach and thinks the patches might
be usable because they contain just a few silly changes which might be
easily rebased onto future kernel versions, I suggest to get rid of the
new syscall and just use something like
#define AT_WIPE 0x2000
in include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h
for using the old unlinkat() with that new flag. That's much easier to
handle than a new syscall which likely never will end up in the kernel
and makes my silly patches even more simple.
Regards,
Alexander Holler
