O_CLOEXEC should be fine in this case.

Applied at git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs.git.  Looks like I was wrong about
O_CLOEXEC being ok here. There may be applications which open_by_handle then
fork/exec and expect to still be able to use that file descriptor.


OK, it's very important to not cause regression here.

For the record, xfs_open_by_handle() is not related to open_by_handle_at() syscall.

It's an ioctl (XFS_IOC_OPEN_BY_HANDLE) which is used by xfsprogs's libhandle
in functions open_by_fshandle() and open_by_handle().

http://sources.debian.net/src/xfsprogs/3.1.9/libhandle/handle.c?hl=284#L284
http://sources.debian.net/src/xfsprogs/3.1.9/libhandle/handle.c?hl=308#L308

According to codesearch.debian.org, libhandle's open_by_handle() is only used
by xfsdump

http://sources.debian.net/src/xfsdump/3.1.1/restore/tree.c?hl=2534#L2534

So there's no many *known* users of this features ... but it's more important
not to break *unknown* users of it.

BTW, thanks for the review and applying.

Regards.
