Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Fix bug 215 and some related issues with fd handling
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 19:29:20 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714092926.2881848-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
Stefano, you called it correctly. While working on bug 215, as usual,
I found a bunch of adjacent things to clean up.
I did start by attempting the appoach you suggested for bug 215 -
remembering which of the low fds were standard streams and avoiding
closing them in __daemon(). It is indeed shorter, but only by 1-2
lines. Looking at possible interactions with other things, I became
more and more convinced that leaving anything other than the standard
streams in fds 0-2 was an accident waiting to happen. Much of the
rest of the series is, for example, dealing with the possibility of
--fd [012].
David Gibson (6):
isolation, util: Fold close_open_files() into isolate_initial()
isolation, conf: Set c->fd_tap from eary parse of --fd
conf: Make conf_tap_fd() operate more like conf_mode()
isolation: Move --fd descriptor to a number of our choosing
main: Ensure fds 0-2 are populated
passt: *Always* close pidfile_fd, not just when daemonizing
