[PATCH 3/3] Cygwin: FIFO: temporarily keep a conv_handle in syscalls.cc:open

2021-02-18 Thread Ken Brown via Cygwin-patches
When a FIFO is opened, syscalls.cc:open always calls fstat on the newly-created fhandler_fifo. This results from a call to device_access_denied. To speed-up this fstat call, and therefore the open(2) call, use PC_KEEP_HANDLE when the fhandler is created. The resulting conv_handle is retained

[PATCH 2/3] Cygwin: fstat_helper: always use handle in call to get_file_attribute

2021-02-18 Thread Ken Brown via Cygwin-patches
Previously, the call to get_file_attribute for FIFOs set the first argument to NULL instead of the handle h returned by get_stat_handle, thereby forcing the file to be opened for fetching the security descriptor in get_file_sd(). This was done because h might have been a pipe handle rather than a

Previously fstat on a FIFO would call fhandler_base::fstat. The latter is not appropriate if fhandler_fifo::open has already been called (and O_PATH is not set), for the following reason. If a FIFO has been opened as a writer or duplexer, then it has an io_handle that is a pipe handle rather
