+         * Note that "root" primarily matters if we encounter an absolute symlink. It is also used when following

+         * assumed to be already prefixed by it, except if the CHASE_PREFIX_ROOT flag is set, in which case it is first
+         * prefixed accordingly.
+         *
+         * Algorithmically this operates on two path buffers: "done" are the components of the path we already
+         * processed and resolved symlinks, "." and ".." of. "todo" are the components of the path we still need to
+         * process. On each iteration, we move one component from "todo" to "done", processing it's special meaning
+         * each time. The "todo" path always starts with at least one slash, the "done" path always ends in no
+         * slash. We always keep an O_PATH fd to the component we are currently processing, thus keeping lookup races
+         * to a minimum.
+         *
+         * Suggested usage: whenever you want to canonicalize a path, use this function. Pass the absolute path you got
+         * as-is: fully qualified and relative to your host's root. Optionally, specify the root parameter to tell this
+         * function what to do when encountering a symlink with an absolute path as directory: prefix it by the
+         * specified path.
+         *
+         * There are five ways to invoke this function:
+         *
+         * 1. Without CHASE_STEP or ret_fd: in this case the path is resolved and the normalized path is
+         *    returned in `ret_path`. The return value is < 0 on error. If CHASE_NONEXISTENT is also set, 0
+         *    is returned if the file doesn't exist, > 0 otherwise. If CHASE_NONEXISTENT is not set, >= 0 is
+         *    returned if the destination was found, -ENOENT if it wasn't.
+         *
+         * 2. With ret_fd: in this case the destination is opened after chasing it as O_PATH and this file
+         *    descriptor is returned as return value. This is useful to open files relative to some root
+         *    directory. Note that the returned O_PATH file descriptors must be converted into a regular one (using
+         *    fd_reopen() or such) before it can be used for reading/writing. ret_fd may not be combined with
+         *    CHASE_NONEXISTENT.
+         *
+         * 3. With CHASE_STEP: in this case only a single step of the normalization is executed, i.e. only the first
+         *    symlink or ".." component of the path is resolved, and the resulting path is returned. This is useful if
+         *    a caller wants to trace the path through the file system verbosely. Returns < 0 on error, > 0 if the
+         *    path is fully normalized, and == 0 for each normalization step. This may be combined with
+         *    CHASE_NONEXISTENT, in which case 1 is returned when a component is not found.
+         *
+         * 4. With CHASE_SAFE: in this case the path must not contain unsafe transitions, i.e. transitions from
+         *    unprivileged to privileged files or directories. In such cases the return value is -ENOLINK. If
+         *    CHASE_WARN is also set, a warning describing the unsafe transition is emitted.
+         *
+         * 5. With CHASE_NO_AUTOFS: in this case if an autofs mount point is encountered, path normalization
+         *    is aborted and -EREMOTE is returned. If CHASE_WARN is also set, a warning showing the path of
+         *    the mount point is emitted.
