[lxc-devel] [PATCH] serialize multiple threads doing lxcapi_start()

[Serge Hallyn]

Quoting Dwight Engen (dwight.engen at oracle.com):
> The problem is that the fd table is shared between threads and if a thread
> forks() while another thread has an open fd to the monitor, the duped fd
> in the fork()ed child will not get closed, thus causing monitord to stay
> around since it thinks it still has a client. This only happened when
> calling lxcapi_start() in the daemonized case since that is the only time
> we try to get the status from the monitor.
