[hurd,commited] hurd: Fix readlink() hanging on fifo
Checks
Commit Message
readlink() opens the target with O_READ to be able to read the symlink
content. When the target is actually a fifo, that would hang waiting for a
writer (caught in the coreutils testsuite). We thus have to first lookup the
target without O_READ to perform io_stat and lookout for fifos, and only
after checking the symlink type, we can re-lookup with O_READ.

How do you know that file_name still points at the same thing?

Righ, better make that atomic. I have pushed it so.
Thanks,
