Poller & > sigchld are the only callers of that function. No because we could want a pipe which survive fork/exec. The function would need to be renamed. I think it's fine to set cloexec on the spot. > --- > diff --git a/tools/libs/light/libxl_event.c b/tools/libs/light/libxl_event.c > index c8bcd13960..8d24613921 100644 > --- a/tools/libs/light/libxl_event.c > +++ b/tools/libs/light/libxl_event.c > @@ -1800,6 +1800,9 @@ int libxl__poller_init(libxl__gc *gc, libxl__poller *p) > rc = libxl__pipe_nonblock(CTX, p->wakeup_pipe); > if (rc) goto out; > > + libxl_fd_set_cloexec(CTX, p->wakeup_pipe[0], 1); > + libxl_fd_set_cloexec(CTX, p->wakeup_pipe[1], 1); I think that's ok. I tried to find out if pollers needs to survive a fork/exec, but that doesn't seems to be the case. Pollers are only used by libxl's event machinery, and in a single CTX I think. > diff --git a/tools/libs/light/libxl_fork.c b/tools/libs/light/libxl_fork.c > index 676a14bb28..b13659d231 100644 > --- a/tools/libs/light/libxl_fork.c > +++ b/tools/libs/light/libxl_fork.c > @@ -387,6 +387,8 @@ int libxl__sigchld_needed(libxl__gc *gc) /* > non-reentrant, idempotent */ > if (CTX->sigchld_selfpipe[0] < 0) { > rc = libxl__pipe_nonblock(CTX, CTX->sigchld_selfpipe); > if (rc) goto out; > + libxl_fd_set_cloexec(CTX, CTX->sigchld_selfpipe[0], 1); > + libxl_fd_set_cloexec(CTX, CTX->sigchld_selfpipe[1], 1); These ones should be also ok, as the pipe is only used for the SIGCHLD handler so not shared outside of libxl. So the patch looks good, and hopefully we don't break libvirt. Reviewed-by: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@xxxxxxxxxx> Thanks, -- Anthony PERARD
