bring std(in|out|err) fd's in a sane state
If the kernel forks us as an usermodhelper, we don't have any of the standard fd's and the first open() will start with fd=0. This is inherited to all forked childs and confuses later forked helpers where we want to read from a pipe connected to the helpers stdout/stderr. # ls -l /proc/$(pidof udevd)/fd total 6 dr-x------ 2 root root 0 2005-08-18 12:44 . dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2005-08-18 12:44 .. lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2005-08-18 12:44 0 -> /dev/null lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2005-08-18 12:44 1 -> socket:[1274617] lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2005-08-18 12:44 2 -> pipe:[1274618] l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2005-08-18 12:44 3 -> pipe:[1274618] lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2005-08-18 12:44 4 -> socket:[1274619] lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2005-08-18 12:44 5 -> socket:[1274620] Ouch! This will obviously not redirect sterr, it will kill the pipe we established between the parent and the child: devnull = open("/dev/null", O_RDWR); dup2(devnull, STDERR_FILENO); Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de>
