Subject: executor: do not abort on invalid serialization fd
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=56836138b0752c1704585a573e4b12dd28f70b9d;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

executor: do not abort on invalid serialization fd

E.g. --deserialize=15 would cause the program to abrt in safe_close.
But in fact, we shouldn't try to do the close in any case: if the
fd is not valid, we should return an error without modifying state.
And if it _is_ valid, we set O_CLOEXEC on it, so it'll be closed
automatically later.
