    17  // Lock synchronizing creation of new file descriptors with fork.
    18  //
    19  // We want the child in a fork/exec sequence to inherit only the
    20  // file descriptors we intend.  To do that, we mark all file
    21  // descriptors close-on-exec and then, in the child, explicitly
    22  // unmark the ones we want the exec'ed program to keep.
    23  // Unix doesn't make this easy: there is, in general, no way to
    24  // allocate a new file descriptor close-on-exec.  Instead you
    25  // have to allocate the descriptor and then mark it close-on-exec.
    26  // If a fork happens between those two events, the child's exec
    27  // will inherit an unwanted file descriptor.
    28  //
    29  // This lock solves that race: the create new fd/mark close-on-exec
    30  // operation is done holding ForkLock for reading, and the fork itself
    31  // is done holding ForkLock for writing.  At least, that's the idea.
    32  // There are some complications.
    33  //
    34  // Some system calls that create new file descriptors can block
    35  // for arbitrarily long times: open on a hung NFS server or named
    36  // pipe, accept on a socket, and so on.  We can't reasonably grab
    37  // the lock across those operations.
    38  //
    39  // It is worse to inherit some file descriptors than others.
    40  // If a non-malicious child accidentally inherits an open ordinary file,
    41  // that's not a big deal.  On the other hand, if a long-lived child
    42  // accidentally inherits the write end of a pipe, then the reader
    43  // of that pipe will not see EOF until that child exits, potentially
    44  // causing the parent program to hang.  This is a common problem
    45  // in threaded C programs that use popen.
    46  //
    47  // Luckily, the file descriptors that are most important not to
    48  // inherit are not the ones that can take an arbitrarily long time
    49  // to create: pipe returns instantly, and the net package uses
    50  // non-blocking I/O to accept on a listening socket.
    51  // The rules for which file descriptor-creating operations use the
    52  // ForkLock are as follows:
    53  //
    54  // 1) Pipe.    Does not block.  Use the ForkLock.
    55  // 2) Socket.  Does not block.  Use the ForkLock.
    56  // 3) Accept.  If using non-blocking mode, use the ForkLock.
    57  //             Otherwise, live with the race.
    58  // 4) Open.    Can block.  Use O_CLOEXEC if available (Linux).
    59  //             Otherwise, live with the race.
    60  // 5) Dup.     Does not block.  Use the ForkLock.
    61  //             On Linux, could use fcntl F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
    62  //             instead of the ForkLock, but only for dup(fd, -1).
