Jeff King 7e8c9355b7 tempfile: set errno to a known value before calling ferror()
In close_tempfile(), we return an error if ferror()
indicated a previous failure, or if fclose() failed. In the
latter case, errno is set and it is useful for callers to
report it.

However, if _only_ ferror() triggers, then the value of
errno is based on whatever syscall happened to last fail,
which may not be related to our filehandle at all. A caller
cannot tell the difference between the two cases, and may
use "die_errno()" or similar to report a nonsense errno value.

One solution would be to actually pass back separate return
values for the two cases, so a caller can write a more
appropriate message for each case. But that makes the
interface clunky.

Instead, let's just set errno to the generic EIO in this case.
That's not as descriptive as we'd like, but at least it's
predictable. So it's better than the status quo in all cases
but one: when the last syscall really did involve a failure
on our filehandle, we'll be wiping that out. But that's a
fragile thing for us to rely on.

In any case, we'll let the errno result from fclose() take
precedence over our value, as we know that's recent and
accurate (and many I/O errors will persist through the
fclose anyway).

/*
* State diagram and cleanup
* -------------------------
*
* If the program exits while a temporary file is active, we want to
* make sure that we remove it. This is done by remembering the active
* temporary files in a linked list, `tempfile_list`. An `atexit(3)`
* handler and a signal handler are registered, to clean up any active
* temporary files.
*
* Because the signal handler can run at any time, `tempfile_list` and
* the `tempfile` objects that comprise it must be kept in
* self-consistent states at all times.
*
* The possible states of a `tempfile` object are as follows:
*
* - Uninitialized. In this state the object's `on_list` field must be
* zero but the rest of its contents need not be initialized. As
* soon as the object is used in any way, it is irrevocably
* registered in `tempfile_list`, and `on_list` is set.
*
* - Active, file open (after `create_tempfile()` or
* `reopen_tempfile()`). In this state:
*
* - the temporary file exists
* - `active` is set
* - `filename` holds the filename of the temporary file
* - `fd` holds a file descriptor open for writing to it
* - `fp` holds a pointer to an open `FILE` object if and only if
* `fdopen_tempfile()` has been called on the object
* - `owner` holds the PID of the process that created the file
*
* - Active, file closed (after successful `close_tempfile()`). Same
* as the previous state, except that the temporary file is closed,
* `fd` is -1, and `fp` is `NULL`.
*
* - Inactive (after `delete_tempfile()`, `rename_tempfile()`, a
* failed attempt to create a temporary file, or a failed
* `close_tempfile()`). In this state:
*
* - `active` is unset
* - `filename` is empty (usually, though there are transitory
* states in which this condition doesn't hold). Client code should
* *not* rely on the filename being empty in this state.
* - `fd` is -1 and `fp` is `NULL`
* - the object is left registered in the `tempfile_list`, and
* `on_list` is set.
*
* A temporary file is owned by the process that created it. The
* `tempfile` has an `owner` field that records the owner's PID. This
* field is used to prevent a forked process from deleting a temporary
* file created by its parent.
