[PATCH 07/18] flag parameters: timerfd_create

From: Ulrich Drepper
Date: Sun May 04 2008 - 23:47:52 EST


The timerfd_create syscall already has a flags parameter. It just is
unused so far. This patch changes this by introducing the TFD_CLOEXEC
flag to set the close-on-exec flag for the returned file descriptor.

A new flag TFD_CLOEXEC is used instead of reusing O_CLOEXEC to prevent
exhaustion of the int bit field in case we need more flags.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>

#ifndef __NR_timerfd_create
# ifdef __x86_64__
# define __NR_timerfd_create 283
# elif defined __i386__
# define __NR_timerfd_create 322
# else
# error "need __NR_timerfd_create"
# endif
#endif

#define TFD_CLOEXEC (1 << 0)

int
main (void)
{
int fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, 0);
if (fd == -1)
{
puts ("timerfd_create(0) failed");
return 1;
}
int coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD);
if (coe == -1)
{
puts ("fcntl failed");
return 1;
}
if (coe & FD_CLOEXEC)
{
puts ("timerfd_create(0) set close-on-exec flag");
return 1;
}
close (fd);

fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, TFD_CLOEXEC);
if (fd == -1)
{
puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_CLOEXEC) failed");
return 1;
}
coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD);
if (coe == -1)
{
puts ("fcntl failed");
return 1;
}
if ((coe & FD_CLOEXEC) == 0)
{
puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_CLOEXEC) set close-on-exec flag");
return 1;
}
close (fd);

puts ("OK");

return 0;
}
