Benjamin Mahler created MESOS-3512: -------------------------------------- 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: http://ewontfix.com/4/ http://lwn.net/Articles/576478/ http://lwn.net/Articles/576591/ 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: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=529 However, Linux does not follow this and so we need to remove our EINTR retries. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
