On unix if exec.Command() is given both ExtraFiles and Ctty, and the
Ctty file descriptor overlaps the range of FDs intended for the child,
then cmd.Start() the ioctl(fd,TIOCSCTTY) call fails with an
"inappropriate ioctl for device" error.
When child file descriptors overlap the new child's ctty the ctty will
be closed in the fd shuffle before the TIOCSCTTY. Thus TIOCSCTTY is
used on one of the ExtraFiles rather than the intended Ctty file. Thus
the error.
exec.Command() callers can workaround this by ensuring the Ctty fd is
larger than any ExtraFiles destined for the child.
Fix this by doing the ctty ioctl before the fd shuffle.
Test for this issue by modifying TestTerminalSignal to use more
ExtraFiles. The test fails on linux and freebsd without this change's
syscall/*.go changes. Other platforms (e.g. darwin, aix, solaris) have
the same fd shuffle logic, so the same fix is applied to them. However,
I was only able to test on linux (32 and 64 bit) and freebsd (64 bit).
Manual runs of the test in https://golang.org/issue/29458 start passing
with this patch:
Before:
% /tmp/src/go/bin/go run t
successfully ran child process with ParentExtraFileFdNum=5, ChildExtraFileFd=6, ParentPtyFd=7
panic: failed to run child process with ParentExtraFileFdNum=10, ChildExtraFileFd=11, ParentPtyFd=11: fork/exec /bin/true: inappropriate ioctl for device
After:
% /tmp/src/go/bin/go run t
successfully ran child process with ParentExtraFileFdNum=5, ChildExtraFileFd=6, ParentPtyFd=7
successfully ran child process with ParentExtraFileFdNum=10, ChildExtraFileFd=11, ParentPtyFd=11
