From 26840437cbd6d3625ea6ab34e17cd34bb810c861 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitaly Kuznetsov Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2016 18:24:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Tools: hv: kvp: ensure kvp device fd is closed on exec 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'. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: K. Y.
