Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] liveupdate: add LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_GET_NAME ioctl
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 23:05:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417220831.1934945-3-luca.boccassi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260417220831.1934945-1-luca.boccassi@gmail.com>

From: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>

Userspace when requesting a session via the ioctl specifies a name and
gets a FD, but then there is no ioctl to go back the other way and get
the name given a LUO session FD. This is problematic especially when
there is a userspace orchestrator that wants to check what FDs it is
handling for clients without having to do manual string scraping of
procfs, or without procfs at all.

Add a ioctl to simply get the name from an FD.

v5: merge with LUO_SESSION_MAGIC series as they both change the same
    unit test file, to avoid merge conflicts
    add '__u32 reserved' to the UAPI struct
