From open(2) manual, pathname(unmapped_fname) points outside the
accessible address space, then test will result in failure with EFAULT.

LTP tst_get_bad_addr() maps a "guard-page" by using PROT_NONE
to provides page not be accessed too. Here we can take use of
it to achieve the same purpose.

Notes:
    Jan,
    
    I'm sorry I didn't think of that function in LTP API when
    reveiwed your open08 patch.
    
    Here I propose to remove the get_invalid_addr() from open08.c.

Maybe we misled by the code comments before, after thinking over, I
guess the "outside your accessible address space" != "outside of
process mapped space". So we don't need to do map/unmap to satisfy
that.

And, the comments should be more precise if change as:

That may be the case, I changed it on purpose to match that comment.
Though as you pointed out PROT_NONE might be enough too.

Is the motivation for your patch to re-use existing function
or have you hit some problem with map/unmap?

Jan

Yes, firstly my motivation is to re-use the existing function. But then I
realized that maybe the original author misunderst
​oo​
d the EFAULT error in open().

So I find open(2) manual and get this:
"EFAULT pathname points outside your *accessible* address space."

​Then I think maybe we need match the manual but not the code comments.

That's all what I thought.​

No, no other issues.

I'd say we match it already (in stronger form than PROT_NONE).

I don't object to re-using LTP function. Can you send v2
that updates also the comment please?

Right, map/unmap is more strict.

​Sure, though it's not much value to change the function, I will do that to
make LTP happy.​
