Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] open: add close_range()
What I do in ring=non-supervisor is close all fd's while
checking against an array of exemptions. if /proc is not
mounted I close RLIMIT_NOFILE, if that fails I use a dumb
loop to close everything(slooow). This new system call could
significantly increase the fallback code, but If you use a
range then you may have to call this in batches, depending
on the fd number sequence?
Here's what it looks like in practice:
int exempt[] = { STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO, STDERR_FILENO };
if (close_descriptors(exempt, 3))
return -1;
