[PATCH] fcntl: make F_DUPFD_QUERY associative

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

 



Currently when passing a closed file descriptor to
fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_QUERY, fd_dup) the order matters:

    fd = open("/dev/null");
    fd_dup = dup(fd);

When we now close one of the file descriptors we get:

    (1) fcntl(fd, fd_dup) // -EBADF
    (2) fcntl(fd_dup, fd) // 0 aka not equal

depending on which file descriptor is passed first. That's not a huge
deal but it gives the api I slightly weird feel. Make it so that the
order doesn't matter by requiring that both file descriptors are valid:

(1') fcntl(fd, fd_dup) // -EBADF
(2') fcntl(fd_dup, fd) // -EBADF
