This commit diverges from our usual procedure of committing generated files
separately because the original commit, r359836, conflated userland use (in
tests) with the implementation.
__FreeBSD_version was already bumped ~15 hours prior to this MFC, 1201522
marks the introduction of close_range.
CPython will use this syscall for some pretty sizable performance gains.
r359836:
Implement a close_range(2) syscall
close_range(min, max, flags) allows for a range of descriptors to be
closed. The Python folk have indicated that they would much prefer this
interface to closefrom(2), as the case may be that they/someone have special
fds dup'd to higher in the range and they can't necessarily closefrom(min)
because they don't want to hit the upper range, but relocating them to lower
isn't necessarily feasible.
sys_closefrom has been rewritten to use kern_close_range() using ~0U to
indicate closing to the end of the range. This was chosen rather than
requiring callers of kern_close_range() to hold FILEDESC_SLOCK across the
call to kern_close_range for simplicity.
The flags argument of close_range(2) is currently unused, so any flags set
is currently EINVAL. It was added to the interface in Linux so that future
flags could be added for, e.g., "halt on first error" and things of this
nature.
This patch is based on a syscall of the same design that is expected to be
merged into Linux.
r359837:
sysent: re-roll after introduction of close_range in r359836
r359891:
close_range/closefrom: fix regression from close_range introduction
close_range will clamp the range between [0, fdp->fd_lastfile], but failed
to take into account that fdp->fd_lastfile can become -1 if all fds are
closed. =-( In this scenario, just return because there's nothing further we
can do at the moment.
Add a test case for this, fork() and simply closefrom(0) twice in the child;
on the second invocation, fdp->fd_lastfile == -1 and will trigger a panic
before this change.
r360236:
close_range(2): use newly assigned AUE_CLOSERANGE
r360237:
sysent: re-roll after 360236 (AUE_CLOSERANGE used)
