[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#1028242: zfs-linux: open with O_TMPFILE flag fails on Linux 6.1

[Antonio Russo]

Package: src:zfs-linux
Version: 2.1.7-1
X-Debbugs-Cc: aerusso at aerusso.net
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

This bug is reported upstream at [1], resolved in [2], and backported to 2.1.7
in (the last patch of) [3] ([3] has not yet been accepted or reviewed).  I've
put this at important severity since it is a regression and could conceivable
lead to difficult to debug problems.

Briefly, the interface to tmpfile() interface in the kernel was adjusted to use
a struct file rather than a struct dentry.  The adjustment is relatively
straightforward.

Best,
Antonio Russo
