and corrects all codes which depend on this kind of behaviour.

I've thought about this a bit more, and I think that it is better to leave this auto-closing behavior unchanged and change your usage of this feature, like so:

+static void wt_status_print_submodule_summary(struct wt_status *s)
+{
+       struct child_process sm_summary;
+       memset(&sm_summary, 0, sizeof(sm_summary));
+       ...
+       sm_summary.out = fileno(s->fp);

	fflush(s->fp);
	sm_summary.out = dup(fileno(s->fp));	/* run_command closes it */

+       ...
+       run_command(&sm_summary);
+}

This way the change is more local without affecting well-tested other callers.

Furthermore, I don't think that it's correct to just set the .close_in or .close_out flags. This will close the fd only in finish_command(), which can be too late: Think again of a writable pipe end that remains open and keeps the reader waiting for input that is not going to happen.
