That is to say: is "foo/bar" permitted, or > just "bar"? At least with *lstat*list and *readlinklist functions, the file names are considered as relative wrt the path specified, as they are resolved against the file descriptor of the directory. In case of *lxattrlist, the absolute path+name for each is built and used as path within the guest. So yes, "bar", "foo/bar", and "../bar" too, should work.
