That occurred to me when I looked at it again after sending,
seems reasonable.

Subject: [PATCH] linux ttyname and ttyname_r: return link if appropriate

The current ttyname does the wrong thing in two cases:

1. If the passed-in link (say /proc/self/fd/0) points to a
device, say /dev/pts/2, in a parent mount namespace, and a
/dev/pts/2 exists (in a different devpts) in the current
namespace, then it returns /dev/pts/2.  But /dev/pts/2 is
NOT the current tty, it is a different file and device.

2. If the passed-in link (say /proc/self/fd/0) points to
a device, say /dev/pts/2, in a parent mount namespace, and
/dev/pts/2 does not exist in the current namespace, it
returns success but an empty name.  As far as I can tell,
there is no reason for it to not return /proc/self/fd/0.
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/ttyname.html
does not say anything about not returning a link.

Is this now ready to be applied?  More peopel appear to be running into
it, https://github.com/lxc/lxc/issues/554

Wouldn't it be better if both functions implemented these comparisons
exactly the same way?
