From 220c61b6f73a1d6f28591aeedff51a668068361b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nobuo Iwata Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2016 14:44:04 +0900 Subject: usbip: deletion of incorrect socket descriptor checking This patch removes checking of socket descriptor value in daemons. It was checked to be less than FD_SETSIZE(1024 usually) but it's not correct. To be exact, the maximum value of descriptor comes from rlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE). Following kernel code determines the value : get_unused_fd_flags() : fs/files.c __alloc_fd() : fs/files.c expand_files() : fs/files.c The defalut (soft limit) is defines as INR_OPEN_CUR(1024) in include/linux/fs.h which is referenced form INIT_RLIMS in include/asm-generic/resource.h. The value may be modified with ulimt, sysctl, security configuration and etc. With the kernel code above, when socket() system call returns positive value, the value must be within rlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE). No extra checking is needed when socket() returns positive. Without 'usbip: vhci number of ports extension' patch set, there's no practical problem because of number of USB port restriction. With the patch set, the value of socket descriptor can exceed FD_SETSIZE(1024 usually) if the rlimit is changed.
