Why an applet can't be NOFORK or NOEXEC?
|
|
|
|
Why can't be NOFORK:
|
|
interactive: may wait for user input, ^C has to work
|
|
spawner: "tool PROG ARGS" which changes program's environment - must fork
|
|
changes state: e.g. environment, signal handlers
|
|
alloc+xfunc: xmalloc, then xfunc - leaks memory if xfunc dies
|
|
open+xfunc: opens fd, then calls xfunc - fd is leaked if xfunc dies
|
|
runner: sometimes may run for long(ish) time, and/or works with network:
|
|
^C has to work (cat BIGFILE, chmod -R, ftpget, nc)
|
|
|
|
"runners" can become eligible after shell is taught ^C to interrupt NOFORKs!
|
|
|
|
Why can't be NOEXEC:
|
|
suid: runs under different uid - must fork+exec
|
|
|
|
Why shouldn't be NOFORK/NOEXEC:
|
|
complex: no immediately obvious reason why NOFORK wouldn't work,
|
|
but does some non-obvoius operations (example: fuser, lsof, losetup);
|
|
nested xmallocs (typical in complex code) is a problem for NOFORK
|
|
rare: not used often enough to bother optimizing (example: poweroff)
|
|
longterm: often runs for a long time (many seconds), execing would make
|
|
memory footprint smaller
|
|
daemon: runs indefinitely
