Subject: x86_64: O_EXCL on /dev/mcelog
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f528e7ba28492e363a64c80c414ded4cadf48f89;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

x86_64: O_EXCL on /dev/mcelog

Background:
 /dev/mcelog is a clear-on-read interface.  It is currently possible for
 multiple users to open and read() the device.  Users are protected from
 each other during any one read, but not across reads.

Description:
 This patch adds support for O_EXCL to /dev/mcelog.  If a user opens the
 device with O_EXCL, no other user may open the device (EBUSY).  Likewise,
 any user that tries to open the device with O_EXCL while another user has
 the device will fail (EBUSY).

Result:
 Applications can get exclusive access to /dev/mcelog.  Applications that
 do not care will be unchanged.

Alternatives:
 A simpler choice would be to only allow one open() at all, regardless of
 O_EXCL.

Testing:
 I wrote an application that opens /dev/mcelog with O_EXCL and observed
 that any other app that tried to open /dev/mcelog would fail until the
 exclusive app had closed the device.

Caveats:
 None.
