Benjamin Mahler updated MESOS-3512:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.25.0
> Don't retry close() on EINTR.
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-3512
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3512
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
> Assignee: Benjamin Mahler
> Fix For: 0.25.0
>
>
> On Linux, retrying close on EINTR is dangerous because the fd is already
> released and we may accidentally close a newly opened fd (from another
> thread), see:
> http://ewontfix.com/4/
> http://lwn.net/Articles/576478/
> http://lwn.net/Articles/576591/
> It appears that other OSes, like HPUX, require a retry of close on EINTR. The
> Austin Group recently proposed changes to POSIX to require that the EINTR
> case need a retry, but EINPROGRESS be used for when a retry should not occur:

> However, Linux does not follow this and so we need to remove our EINTR
> retries.
