Let FSCONFIG_SET_FD handle O_PATH file descriptors. This is particularly
useful in the context of overlayfs where layers can be specified via
file descriptors instead of paths. But userspace must currently use
non-O_PATH file desriptors which is often pointless especially if
the file descriptors have been created via open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
