[PATCH] dup3 fix
Al Viro notice one cornercase that the new dup3() code. The dup2() function, as a special case, handles dup-ing to the same file descriptor. In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at all. I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter. This shouldn't happen, the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested. In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2(). This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e flag. The patch below implements this minor change. [AV: credits to Artur Grabowski for bringing that up as potential subtle point in dup2() behaviour] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
