--- Comment #23 from Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella at linaro dot o=

(In reply to Cristian Rodr=C3=ADguez from comment #21)

The close_range seems a sensible addition to added as a syscall wrapper for
Linux, without any extra fallback, and returning ENOSYS on older kernel (as=
 for
copy_file_range). From Florian message, he should be ok with a fallback to
/proc/self/fd if the syscall is not available; but this will make function =
not
fail-safe and add possible issues (as it was usual for multiple syscall
fallbacks we added previosuly).

I also agree that closefrom shouldbe added as a GNU extension, multiple sys=
tem
have added it.

For posix_spawn extension, I think we can add a /proc/self/fd fallback that
sets FD_CLOEXEC for each; the spawn will fail if it can not be executed and=
 it
is allowed by the interface.
