[PATCH 0/2] fs, close_range: add flag CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC

From: Giuseppe Scrivano
Date: Tue Oct 13 2020 - 10:06:26 EST


When the new flag is used, close_range will set the close-on-exec bit
for the file descriptors instead of close()-ing them.

It is useful for e.g. container runtimes that want to minimize the
number of syscalls used after a seccomp profile is installed but want
to keep some fds open until the container process is executed.
