Fix fd leak when using async thread pool
When using the async thread pool, if an erlang process asks to open a file and it gets shutdown/killed while the file:open/2 call hasn't returned, it's possible to leak a file descriptor against the target file. This happens because when the file driver is stopped (file_stop() function is called), an async thread is executing, about to execute, or executed already the invoke_open() function. After file_stop() is called, the file_async_ready() function will not run, and this function is responsible for setting desc->fd with the file descriptor that invoke_open() got. The file_stop() call closes desc->fd if it refers to a valid file descriptor, which is not the case here, because this function was called before file_async_ready() could run. This leak is easily reproducile in a GNU/Linux system using the following test code: -module(t). -export([t/1]). t(N) -> Pid = spawn_link(fun() -> process_flag(trap_exit, true), loop(N) end), Ref = erlang:monitor(process, Pid), receive {'DOWN', Ref, _, _, _} -> ok end. loop(0) -> ok; loop(N) -> Name = integer_to_list(N), Server = self(), Pid = spawn(fun() -> Server ! continue, {ok, FdW} = file:open(Name, [raw, write]), {ok, FdR} = file:open(Name, [raw, read]), % Optional close calls, with or without them % it makes no difference. %ok = file:close(FdW), %ok = file:close(FdR), ok end), receive continue -> ok end, exit(Pid, shutdown), loop(N - 1). Running this code with a few iterations is enough to very often notice, with the lsof command, that the beam.smp process is holding forever file descriptors open. This issue doesn't happen if the async thread pool is not used. Example: $ erl +A 4 Erlang R15B03 (erts-5.9.3) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:4] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] Eshell V5.9.3 (abort with ^G) 1> c(t). {ok,t} 2> os:getpid().
