[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools: xentoolcore_restrict_all: Do deregistration before close



Closing the fd before unhooking it from the list runs the risk that a
concurrent thread calls xentoolcore_restrict_all will operate on the
old fd value, which might refer to a new fd by then.  So we need to do
it in the other order.

Sadly this weakens the guarantee provided by xentoolcore_restrict_all
slight, but not (I think) in a problematic way.  It would be possible
to implement the previous guarantee, but it would involve replacing
all of the close() calls in all of the individual osdep parts of all
of the individual libraries with calls to a new function which does
   dup2("/dev/null", thing->fd);
   pthread_mutex_lock(&handles_lock);
   thing->fd = -1;
   pthread_mutex_unlock(&handles_lock);
   close(fd);
which would be terribly tedious.
