      Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable · 1dce27c5

      Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and
      close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we
      abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under
      normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the
      fd_sets.
      
      The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted,
      since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths.
      
      This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing
      close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags:
      
      	void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
      	void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
      	bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
      	void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
      	void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
      	bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
      
      Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because
      they require the caller to hold a lock to use them.
      
      Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the
      the array.  Possibly that should exist too.
