+// Lock synchronizing creation of new file descriptors with fork.
+//
+// We want the child in a fork/exec sequence to inherit only the
+// file descriptors we intend. To do that, we mark all file
+// descriptors close-on-exec and then, in the child, explicitly
+// unmark the ones we want the exec'ed program to keep.
+// Unix doesn't make this easy: there is, in general, no way to
+// allocate a new file descriptor close-on-exec. Instead you
+// have to allocate the descriptor and then mark it close-on-exec.
+// If a fork happens between those two events, the child's exec
+// will inherit an unwanted file descriptor.
+//
+// This lock solves that race: the create new fd/mark close-on-exec
+// operation is done holding ForkLock for reading, and the fork itself
+// is done holding ForkLock for writing. At least, that's the idea.
+// There are some complications.
+//
+// Some system calls that create new file descriptors can block
+// for arbitrarily long times: open on a hung NFS server or named
+// pipe, accept on a socket, and so on. We can't reasonably grab
+// the lock across those operations.
+//
+// It is worse to inherit some file descriptors than others.
+// If a non-malicious child accidentally inherits an open ordinary file,
+// that's not a big deal. On the other hand, if a long-lived child
+// accidentally inherits the write end of a pipe, then the reader
+// of that pipe will not see EOF until that child exits, potentially
+// causing the parent program to hang. This is a common problem
+// in threaded C programs that use popen.
+//
+// Luckily, the file descriptors that are most important not to
+// inherit are not the ones that can take an arbitrarily long time
+// to create: pipe returns instantly, and the net package uses
+// non-blocking I/O to accept on a listening socket.
+// The rules for which file descriptor-creating operations use the
+// ForkLock are as follows:
+//
+// 1) Pipe. Does not block. Use the ForkLock.
+// 2) Socket. Does not block. Use the ForkLock.
+// 3) Accept. If using non-blocking mode, use the ForkLock.
+// Otherwise, live with the race.
+// 4) Open. Can block. Use O_CLOEXEC if available (Linux).
+// Otherwise, live with the race.
+// 5) Dup. Does not block. Use the ForkLock.
+// On Linux, could use fcntl F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
+// instead of the ForkLock, but only for dup(fd, -1).
