// Lock synchronizing creation of new file descriptors with fork.
//
// We want the child in a fork/exec sequence to inherit only the
// file descriptors we intend. To do that, we mark all file
// descriptors close-on-exec and then, in the child, explicitly
// unmark the ones we want the exec'ed program to keep.
// Unix doesn't make this easy: there is, in general, no way to
// allocate a new file descriptor close-on-exec. Instead you
// have to allocate the descriptor and then mark it close-on-exec.
// If a fork happens between those two events, the child's exec
// will inherit an unwanted file descriptor.
//
// This lock solves that race: the create new fd/mark close-on-exec
// operation is done holding ForkLock for reading, and the fork itself
// is done holding ForkLock for writing. At least, that's the idea.
// There are some complications.
//
// Some system calls that create new file descriptors can block
// for arbitrarily long times: open on a hung NFS server or named
// pipe, accept on a socket, and so on. We can't reasonably grab
// the lock across those operations.
//
// It is worse to inherit some file descriptors than others.
// If a non-malicious child accidentally inherits an open ordinary file,
// that's not a big deal. On the other hand, if a long-lived child
// accidentally inherits the write end of a pipe, then the reader
// of that pipe will not see EOF until that child exits, potentially
// causing the parent program to hang. This is a common problem
// in threaded C programs that use popen.
//
// Luckily, the file descriptors that are most important not to
// inherit are not the ones that can take an arbitrarily long time
// to create: pipe returns instantly, and the net package uses
// non-blocking I/O to accept on a listening socket.
// The rules for which file descriptor-creating operations use the
// ForkLock are as follows:
//
// 1) Pipe. Does not block. Use the ForkLock.
// 2) Socket. Does not block. Use the ForkLock.
// 3) Accept. If using non-blocking mode, use the ForkLock.
// Otherwise, live with the race.
// 4) Open. Can block. Use O_CLOEXEC if available (Linux).
// Otherwise, live with the race.
// 5) Dup. Does not block. Use the ForkLock.
// On Linux, could use fcntl F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
// instead of the ForkLock, but only for dup(fd, -1).
