That might be, but it would be good to document the tradeoffs associated with that efficiency. Even better would be to come up with a mechanism to avoid it entirely. If requiring pthread_atfork() handlers to execute is not an option, then maybe a file-descriptor/socket option that marks the socket as closing once the process forks (like SOCK_CLOEXEC / FD_CLOEXEC, but done at fork() instead of exec()).
Solaris has FD_CLOFORK et al. for that purpose: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E88353_01/html/E37841/fcntl-2.html https://lwn.net/Articles/785430/ suggests AIX, BSD, & MacOS have also defined it, and though it's been proposed multiple times for Linux, never adopted there. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - https://blogs.oracle.com/alanc
