Subject: Cygwin: FIFO: temporarily keep a conv_handle in syscalls.cc:open
X-Git-Tag: cygwin-3_2_0-release~32
X-Git-Url: https://sourceware.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=246121534a291d70b1a53f1be85e392981f25e9f;p=newlib-cygwin.git

Cygwin: FIFO: temporarily keep a conv_handle in syscalls.cc:open

When a FIFO is opened, syscalls.cc:open always calls fstat on the
newly-created fhandler_fifo.  This results from a call to
device_access_denied.

To speed-up this fstat call, and therefore the open(2) call, use
PC_KEEP_HANDLE when the fhandler is created.  The resulting
conv_handle is retained until after the fstat call if the fhandler is
a FIFO; otherwise, it is closed immediately.
