HI， all
it seems sys_execve() do not close the file descriptors 0, 1, 2 by
default.
This is necessary, otherwise many shell commands would not work:
$ cat /path/to/backup/etc/passwd > /etc/passwd
$ bzcat /path/to/patch.bz2 | patch -p1
But I can find where the kernel do that.
can anyone tell me where is it in the source code?
From a 1 minute look at fs/exec.c (waiting for a compile), I
suspect you want flush_old_files().
