Subject: [PATCH 08/10] file: let dup_fd() drop only close-on-exec descriptors
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 16:15:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921-work-file-close_range_except-v1-8-c20d0b49270d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921-work-file-close_range_except-v1-0-c20d0b49270d@kernel.org>
Add FD_RANGE_CLOEXEC_ONLY. When set dup_fd() leaves everything behind
except for fds that are close-on-exec. Without FD_RANGE_EXCEPT the
clone loses the close-on-exec descriptors in the range. With it the
clone keeps the range and loses the close-on-exec descriptors everywhere
else. Descriptors without the flag are carried over either way.
Nothing passes the flag yet.
