[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 5/7] 9pfs: don't create files if pathname already exists

[Greg Kurz]

As specified in the http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/5/open :

"An attempt to create a file in a directory where the given
name already exists will be rejected"

Malicious code in a guest could for example create a named pipe and
then pass its name to the server in a RLCREATE message. This would
cause QEMU to hang in open(), waiting for someone to open the other
end of the pipe.

Let's fix this by simply using O_EXCL.
