filedesc: don't use ioctl(FIOCLEX) on Linux
All ioctl(2)s will fail on O_PATH file descriptors on Linux (because they use &empty_fops as a security measure against O_PATH descriptors affecting the backing file). As a result, File::try_clone() and various other methods would always fail with -EBADF on O_PATH file descriptors. The solution is to simply use F_SETFD (as is used on other unices) which works on O_PATH descriptors because it operates through the fnctl(2) layer and not through ioctl(2)s. Since this code is usually only used in strange error paths (a broken or ancient kernel), the extra overhead of one syscall shouldn't cause any dramas. Most other systems programming languages also use the fnctl(2) so this brings us in line with them. Fixes: rust-lang#62314 Signed-off-by: Aleksa Sarai <[email protected]>
