Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:11:00 +0200 From: Yann Droneaud <ydroneaud@...eya.com> To: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Yann Droneaud <ydroneaud@...eya.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH v2 10/10] file: remove get_unused_fd() Macro get_unused_fd() allocates a file descriptor without O_CLOEXEC flag. This can be seen as an unsafe default: in most case O_CLOEXEC must be used to not leak file descriptor across exec(). Using O_CLOEXEC by default allows userspace to choose, without race, if the file descriptor is going to be inherited across exec(). This patch removes get_unused_fd() so that newer kernel code use anon_inode_getfd() or get_unused_fd_flags() with flags provided by userspace. If flags cannot be given by userspace, O_CLOEXEC must be the default flag.
