To do that, we mark all file // descriptors close-on-exec and then, in the child, explicitly // unmark the ones we want the exec'ed program to keep. // Unix doesn't make this easy: there is, in general, no way to // allocate a new file descriptor close-on-exec. Instead you // have to allocate the descriptor and then mark it close-on-exec. // If a fork happens between those two events, the child's exec // will inherit an unwanted file descriptor. // // This lock solves that race: the create new fd/mark close-on-exec // operation is done holding ForkLock for reading, and the fork itself // is done holding ForkLock for writing. At least, that's the idea. // There are some complications. // // Some system calls that create new file descriptors can block // for arbitrarily long times: open on a hung NFS server or named // pipe, accept on a socket, and so on. We can't reasonably grab // the lock across those operations. // // It is worse to inherit some file descriptors than others. // If a non-malicious child accidentally inherits an open ordinary file, // that's not a big deal. On the other hand, if a long-lived child // accidentally inherits the write end of a pipe, then the reader // of that pipe will not see EOF until that child exits, potentially // causing the parent program to hang. This is a common problem // in threaded C programs that use popen. // // Luckily, the file descriptors that are most important not to // inherit are not the ones that can take an arbitrarily long time // to create: pipe returns instantly, and the net package uses // non-blocking I/O to accept on a listening socket. // The rules for which file descriptor-creating operations use the // ForkLock are as follows: // // - [Pipe]. Use pipe2 if available. Otherwise, does not block, // so use ForkLock. // - [Socket]. Use SOCK_CLOEXEC if available. Otherwise, does not // block, so use ForkLock. // - [Open]. Use [O_CLOEXEC] if available. Otherwise, may block, // so live with the race. // - [Dup]. Use [F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC] or dup3 if available. Otherwise, // does not block, so use ForkLock. var ForkLock sync.RWMutex // StringSlicePtr converts a slice of strings to a slice of pointers // to NUL-terminated byte arrays.
