[PATCH v6] passt, util: Close any open file that the parent might have leaked
If a parent accidentally or due to implementation reasons leaks any
open file, we don't want to have access to them, except for the file
passed via --fd, if any.
This is the case for Podman when Podman's parent leaks files into
Podman: it's not practical for Podman to close unrelated files before
starting pasta, as reported by Paul.
Use close_range(2) to close all open files except for standard streams
and the one from --fd.
Given that parts of conf() depend on other files to be already opened,
such as the epoll file descriptor, we can't easily defer this to a
more convenient point, where --fd was already parsed. Introduce a
minimal, duplicate version of --fd parsing to keep this simple.
As we need to check that the passed --fd option doesn't exceed
INT_MAX, because we'll parse it with strtol() but file descriptor
indices are signed ints (regardless of the arguments close_range()
take), extend the existing check in the actual --fd parsing in conf(),
also rejecting file descriptors numbers that match standard streams,
while at it.

I hate to do this to you, but there's still an off-by one error.. [snip]
+ if (fd == -1) { + rc = close_range(STDERR_FILENO, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE);
..this case will incorrectly close stderr.
+ } else if (fd == STDERR_FILENO + 1) { /* Still a single range */ + rc = close_range(STDERR_FILENO + 2, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE); + } else { + rc = close_range(STDERR_FILENO + 1, fd - 1, + CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE); + if (!rc) + rc = close_range(fd + 1, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE); + } + + if (rc) + die_perror("Failed to close files leaked by parent"); +}
