--------------------------------------
Summary: Don't retry close() on EINTR.
Key: MESOS-3512
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3512
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
Assignee: Benjamin Mahler
On Linux, retrying close on EINTR is dangerous because the fd is already
released and we may accidentally close a newly opened fd (from another thread),
see:

It appears that other OSes, like HPUX, require a retry of close on EINTR. The
Austin Group recently proposed changes to POSIX to require that the EINTR case
need a retry, but EINPROGRESS be used for when a retry should not occur:

However, Linux does not follow this and so we need to remove our EINTR retries.
