[PATCH 4/4] bus/pci/bsd: Fix device existence check

Jake Freeland jfree at FreeBSD.org
Tue May 6 19:40:44 CEST 2025


Use open(2) instead of access(2) to check for the existence of the target
device. This avoids a possible race condition where the the device file is
removed after a successful call to access(2) but before open(2).

This also fixes any potential bugs associated with passing open(2)-style
flags into access(2). i.e. access(2) does not formally support the O_RDWR
flag.
