# HG changeset patch # User Jim Meyering # Date 1319402545 -7200 # Node ID cd7ac59d8eb552ac4c48deb3948945ca78838318 # Parent 176cc63d93cb7241a0af5b1600739eeb250acb4c fts: close parent dir FD before returning from post-traversal fts_read The problem: the fts-using "mkdir -p A/B; rm -rf A" would attempt to unlink A, even though an FD open on A remained. This is suboptimal (holding a file descriptor open longer than needed), but otherwise not a problem on Unix-like kernels. However, on Cygwin with certain Novell file systems, (see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-10/msg00365.html), that represents a real problem: it causes the removal of A to fail with e.g., "rm: cannot remove `A': Device or resource busy" fts visits each directory twice and keeps a cache (fts_fd_ring) of directory file descriptors. After completing the final, FTS_DP, visit of a directory, RESTORE_INITIAL_CWD intended to clear the FD cache, but then proceeded to add a new FD to it via the subsequent FCHDIR (which calls cwd_advance_fd and i_ring_push). Before, the final file descriptor would be closed only via fts_close's call to fd_ring_clear. Now, it is usually closed earlier, via the final FTS_DP-returning fts_read call. * lib/fts.c (restore_initial_cwd): New function, converted from the macro. Call fd_ring_clear *after* FCHDIR, not before it. Update callers.
