From 6a461d1f59850ff27bd254a3b71fe9ade0523e76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Zbigniew=20J=C4=99drzejewski-Szmek?= Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2019 15:13:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] basic/fd-util: refuse "infinite" loop in close_all_fds() I had a test machine with ulimit -n set to 1073741816 through pam ("session required pam_limits.so set_all", which copies the limits from PID 1, left over from testing of #10921). test-execute would "hang" and then fail with a timeout when running exec-inaccessiblepaths-proc.service. It turns out that the problem was in close_all_fds(), which would go to the fallback path of doing close() 1073741813 times. Let's just fail if we hit this case. This only matters for cases where both /proc is inaccessible, and the *soft* limit has been raised.
