Subject: [PATCH] test: 9p: switch security_model from mapped to none
Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2026 18:20:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260215172021.2655961-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

QEMU's security_model=mapped doesn't allow reading host symlinks (those
not created through 9P) and instead returns ELOOP.

Switch to security_model=none, which passes through real filesystem
semantics (including symlinks) while silently ignoring ownership and
permission changes that would require root.
