flag parameters: timerfd_create
The timerfd_create syscall already has a flags parameter. It just is unused so far. This patch changes this by introducing the TFD_CLOEXEC flag to set the close-on-exec flag for the returned file descriptor. A new name TFD_CLOEXEC is introduced which in this implementation must have the same value as O_CLOEXEC. The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #ifndef __NR_timerfd_create # ifdef __x86_64__ # define __NR_timerfd_create 283 # elif defined __i386__ # define __NR_timerfd_create 322 # else # error "need __NR_timerfd_create" # endif #endif #define TFD_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC int main (void) { int fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, 0); if (fd == -1) { puts ("timerfd_create(0) failed"); return 1; } int coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if (coe & FD_CLOEXEC) { puts ("timerfd_create(0) set close-on-exec flag"); return 1; } close (fd); fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, TFD_CLOEXEC); if (fd == -1) { puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_CLOEXEC) failed"); return 1; } coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if ((coe & FD_CLOEXEC) == 0) { puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_CLOEXEC) set close-on-exec flag"); return 1; } close (fd); puts ("OK"); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Acked-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
