Subject: [bug#65221] [PATCH 5/6] service: use RECONFIGURE-FDS for redirecting FDs 0-2.
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2023 15:22:38 -0500

There are currently some corner cases in how EXTRA-PORTS works due to it not
managing FDs 0, 1, and 2.  Specifically, if one were to include a port in
EXTRA-PORTS with FD 0, 1, or 2, it would *not* be preserved, and would instead
represent the file that EXEC-COMMAND assigned to that file descriptor.  To
avoid this, it's necessary to call RECONFIGURE-FDS *before* redirecting the
input, but this could clobber LOG-PORT or INPUT-PORT, so it would become
necessary to include LOG-PORT and INPUT-PORT in the call to RECONFIGURE-FDS,
then do the redirection using the new FD assignment, then close them.  This
complication can be avoided if we simply let RECONFIGURE-FDS itself do the
redirection.  This also solves other edge cases, like if LOG-PORT has fileno 0
or 1 (previously passing a LOG-PORT of (current-output-port) would cause an
error, as the underlying file descriptor would be closed before dup2 was
called to copy it), or if INPUT-PORT has fileno 0.

To solve this, we have RECONFIGURE-FDS start the range it copies into at 0
instead of 3.  We then explicitly pass the desired standard I/O FDs / ports at
the front of the list passed to RECONFIGURE-FDS.

We also use O_CLOEXEC for opening /dev/null and the log file so that the file
descriptors they are originally opened on don't hang around.

* modules/shepherd/service.scm (exec-command): use RECONFIGURE-FDS for
  redirecting FDs 0, 1, and 2.
