I'm also attaching one extra patch 'xen-xend-logging-cloexec.patch' which
sets the FD_CLOEXEC flag on the /var/log/xend.log file. I'm not entirely
happy with this patch though because it accesses the private 'self.stream'
field in its superclass. Unfortunately the entire python logging class
hierarchy is 'designed' on the principle of accessing private class
members from superclasses, so I don't see any immediately obvious alternate
way to set FD_CLOEXEC on the log file.
A much more invasive patch to XenD would be to locate all places where we
call fork / exec and in between the forking & execing iterate over all
file handles explicitly setting FD_CLOEXEC, eg the equiv of this C code,
but in python
pid = fork()
if (pid == 0) {
open_max = sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX);
for (i = 0; i < open_max; i++)
fcntl (i, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC);
exec(...)
}
We'd also need to find all places where we call 'spawn' and replace this call
with a fork/exec pair.
Attached the 3 previous patches & the new one to this mail. I've tested that
they apply without trouble to latest xen-unstable.hg
