Subject: [PATCH] Tools: hv: kvp: ensure kvp device fd is closed on exec
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:20:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1467289218-24594-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
KVP daemon does fork()/exec() (with popen()) so we need to close our fds
to avoid sharing them with child processes. The immediate implication of
not doing so I see is SELinux complaining about 'ip' trying to access
'/dev/vmbus/hv_kvp'.
