Description:
------------
The behavior of flock()ed files across forks appears to have changed
between php 4.4.8 and php 5.2.8.
Previously, children would inherit filehandles from their parent, and
would close() their copies of the filehandles on exit, but this would
not clear flock()s on the files locked in the parent.
Now, it appears that if any child exits(), this will clear flock()s on
any filehandles inherited from the parent.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$fp = fopen("/tmp/lock.txt", "w+");
if (flock($fp, LOCK_EX + LOCK_NB )) {
print "Got lock.\n";
} else {
print "Couldn't lock the file.\n";
exit();
}
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ($pid) {
pcntl_waitpid($pid,$status);
}
else {
exit();
}
sleep(100);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
$ php flock.php &
[1] 22054
$ Got lock.
$ php flock.php
Couldn't lock the file.
Actual result:
--------------
$php flock.php &
[1] 31085
$Got lock.
$php flock.php
Got lock.
