3:13 p.m.
Valgrind detected a pipe fd leak before the parent exits on success,
introduced in commit 4296cea; by itself, the leak is not bad, since
we immediately called _exit(), but we might as well be clean to make
valgrind analysis easier. Meanwhile, if the daemon grandchild detects
an error, the parent failed to flush the error message before exiting.
Also, we had the possibility of both parent and child returning to the
caller, such that the user could see duplicated reports of failure
from the two return paths. And we might as well be robust to the
(unlikely) situation of being started with stdin closed.
* daemon/libvirtd.c (daemonForkIntoBackground): Use exit if an
error message was generated, avoid fd leaks for valgrind's sake,
avoid returning to caller in both parent and child, and don't
close a just-dup'd stdin.
Based on a report by Alex Jia.
* How to reproduce?
% service libvirtd stop
% valgrind -v --track-fds=yes /usr/sbin/libvirtd --daemon
* Actual valgrind result:
==16804== FILE DESCRIPTORS: 7 open at exit.
==16804== Open file descriptor 7:
==16804== at 0x321FAD8B87: pipe (in /lib64/libc-2.12.so)
==16804== by 0x41F34D: daemonForkIntoBackground (libvirtd.c:186)
==16804== by 0x4207A0: main (libvirtd.c:1420)
