I think you *could*, but I'm not sure why you would. In general, syscalls never execute signal handlers mid-syscall. There is a very small number of syscalls that use sys_restart_syscall(), but I don't think any of them allocate fds, and I'm not sure we need or want to support them with user notifiers. The rest of the syscalls will, if they're behaving correct, either do *something* (like reading some or all of a buffer) and return success or they'll do nothing and return -EINTR. Or they return an -ERESTARTSYS variant. And then, only *after* the syscall logically returns (i.e. completely finishes processing and puts its return code into the relevant register) will a signal be delivered. In other words, the case where something like recv() gets interrupted but still returns a success code does not mean that a signal handler was called and then recv() resumed. It means that recv() noticed the signal, stopped receiving, returned the number of bytes read, and then allowed the signal to be delivered. In the -ERESTARTSYS case, the syscall returns -ERESTARTSYS (or a variant) and returns without doing anything. But it returns in a special case where, after the signal returns, the syscall will happen again. So, for user notifiers, I think that any sane handler that notices a non-fatal signal will do one of these things: - Return -EINTR without changing any tracee state. - Return success, possibly without blocking as long as it would have without the signal. - Return -ERESTARTSYS without changing any tracee state. - Kill the tracee. None of these would involve backing out an fd that was already installed. I suppose another way of looking at this is that. Although... now that I think about it, there are some special cases, like socketpair(). Look for put_unused_fd(). So maybe we need to expose get_unused_fd_flags() and put_unused_fd(), but I think that these are exceptions and will be very uncommon in the context of seccomp user notifiers. (For example, socketpair() can be implemented almost correctly without put_unused_fd().) Hmm. This does mean that we need a test case for a user notifier returning -ERESTARTSYS. It should Just Work (tm), but those are famous last words. -ERESTARTSYS_RESTARTBLOCK is the case that I don't think we need to worry about. > > > In the (unlikely?) event that some tracer needs to be able to rollback > > an fd installation to return -EINTR, a SECCOMP_NOTIF_CLOSE_FD > > operation should be good enough, I think.

Let PUT_FD take a source fd and a dest fd. If the source fd is -1, the dest is closed. If the source is -1 and the dest is -1, return -EINVAL. If the dest is -1, allocate an fd. If the dest is >= 0, work like dup2(). (The latter could be necessary to emulate things like, say, dup2 :))
