    [PATCH] mmap error handling · e35f9824
    Pavel Roskin authored
    
    
    I have reviewed all occurrences of mmap() in git and fixed three types
    of errors/defects:
    
    1) The result is not checked.
    2) The file descriptor is closed if mmap() succeeds, but not when it
    fails.
    3) Various casts applied to -1 are used instead of MAP_FAILED, which is
    specifically defined to check mmap() return value.
    
    [jc: This is a second round of Pavel's patch.  He fixed up the problem
    that close() potentially clobbering the errno from mmap, which
    the first round had.]
