Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment:
The Linux kernel code is not sufficiently easy to follow to understand if it has this issue or if it pre-creates the dirent structures for all fds at opendir time for /proc/self/fd or if it is iterating through the list of fds in sorted order so an older closed fd will not interfere with its internal iteration. Regardless, I've yet to knowingly witness a problem from this come up in practice. knowingly and yet being key words. :) But I like the general theme of your patch to set CLOEXEC on all of the fd's rather than explicitly call close(fd) in the directory reading loop. ---------- assignee: -> gregory.p.smith components: +Library (Lib) resolution: out of date -> type: -> behavior versions: +Python 3.10, Python 3.9 -Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue21627> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
