Implement close-on-fork

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

 



Series of 4 patches to implement close-on-fork. Tests have been
published to https://github.com/nkarstens/ltp/tree/close-on-fork.

close-on-fork addresses race conditions in system(), which
(depending on the implementation) is non-atomic in that it
first calls a fork() and then an exec().

This functionality was approved by the Austin Common Standards
Revision Group for inclusion in the next revision of the POSIX
standard (see issue 1318 in the Austin Group Defect Tracker).

[PATCH 3/4] fs: Add F_DUPFD_CLOFORK to fcntl(2)
