[RFC PATCH v1 5/5] rust: file: add `DeferredFdCloser`

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This adds a new type called `DeferredFdCloser` that can be used to close
files by their fd in a way that is safe even if the file is currently
held using `fdget`.

This is done by grabbing an extra refcount to the file and dropping it
in a task work once we return to userspace.

See comments on `binder_do_fd_close` and commit `80cd795630d65` for
motivation.

This is an implementation of `binder_deferred_fd_close` in Rust.

I think the fact that binder needs to close fds in this way raises the
question of how we want the Rust APIs for closing files to look.
Apparently, fdget is not just used in easily reviewable regions, but
also around things like the ioctl syscall, meaning that all ioctls must
abide by the fdget safety requirements.
