[PATCH v1] perf record: Fix event fd races

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sun Oct 23 2022 - 21:10:56 EST


The write call may set errno which is problematic if occurring in a
function also setting errno. Save and restore errno around the write
call.

done_fd may be used after close, clear it as part of the close and
check its validity in the signal handler.
