In that part, open_flags is initialized as "O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_CLOEXEC" and there's an attempt to open(2) the file, which will likely fail because it won't exist. After that first (expected) failure, some cleanup is done and we go back to the label "try_again", which lives in the first part of the aforementioned "if". The problem is that, in that part of the code, we expect the semaphore file to exist, and as such O_CREAT (this time the flag we pass to open(2)) needs to be cleaned from open_flags, otherwise we'll see another failure (this time unexpected) when trying to open the file, which will lead the call to sem_open to fail as well. This can cause very strange bugs, especially with OpenMPI, which makes extensive use of semaphores. Fix the bug by simplifying the logic when choosing open(2) flags and making sure O_CREAT is not set when the semaphore file is expected to exist. A regression test for this issue would require a complex and cpu time consuming logic, since to trigger the wrong code path is not straightforward due the racy condition. There is a somewhat reliable reproducer in the bug, but it requires using OpenMPI. This resolves BZ #30789.
