文件描述符排错程序 (fdsan)
Android 10 引入了 fdsan(文件描述符排错程序)。fdsan 检测错误处理文件描述符所有权的错误,例如 use-after-close 和 double-close。在 Android 11 中,fdsan 的默认模式发生了变化。现在,fdsan 会在检测到错误时中止,而以前的行为则是记录警告并继续。如果您在应用中发现由于 fdsan 而导致的崩溃,请参阅fdsan document

fdsan is a file descriptor sanitizer added to Android in API level 29.
Background
What problem is fdsan trying to solve? Why should I care?
fdsan (file descriptor sanitizer) detects mishandling of file descriptor ownership, which tend to manifest as use-after-close and double-close. These errors are direct analogues of the memory allocation use-after-free and double-free bugs, but tend to be much more difficult to diagnose and fix. With malloc
and free
, implementations have free reign to detect errors and abort on double free. File descriptors, on the other hand, are mandated by the POSIX standard to be allocated with the lowest available number being returned for new allocations. As a result, many file descriptor bugs can never be noticed on the thread on which the error occurred, and will manifest as “impossible” behavior on another thread.
For example, given two threads running the following code:
void thread_one() {
int fd = open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY);
close(fd);
close(fd);
}
void thread_two() {
while (true) {
int fd = open("log", O_WRONLY | O_APPEND);
if (write(fd, "foo", 3) != 3) {
err(1, "write failed!");
}
}
}
the following interleaving is possible:
thread one thread two
open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY) = 123
close(123) = 0
open("log", O_WRONLY | APPEND) = 123
close(123) = 0
write(123, "foo", 3) = -1 (EBADF)
err(1, "write failed!")
Assertion failures are probably the most innocuous result that can arise from these bugs: silent data corruption [1, 2] or security vulnerabilities are also possible (e.g. suppose thread two was saving user data to disk when a third thread came in and opened a socket to the Internet).
Design
What does fdsan do?
fdsan attempts to detect and/or prevent file descriptor mismanagement by enforcing file descriptor ownership. Like how most memory allocations can have their ownership handled by types such as std::unique_ptr
, almost all file descriptors can be associated with a unique owner which is responsible for their closure. fdsan provides functions to associate a file descriptor with an owner; if someone tries to close a file descriptor that they don't own, depending on configuration, either a warning is emitted, or the process aborts.
The way this is implemented is by providing functions to set a 64-bit closure tag on a file descriptor. The tag consists of an 8-bit type byte that identifies the type of the owner (enum android_fdan_owner_type
in <android/fdsan.h>
), and a 56-bit value. The value should ideally be something that uniquely identifies the object (object address for native objects and System.identityHashCode
for Java objects), but in cases where it‘s hard to derive an identifier for the “owner” that should close a file descriptor, even using the same value for all file descriptors in the module can be useful, since it’ll catch other code that closes your file descriptors.
If a file descriptor that's been marked with a tag is closed with an incorrect tag, or without a tag, we know something has gone wrong, and can generate diagnostics or abort.
Enabling fdsan (as a user)
How do I use fdsan?
fdsan has four severity levels:
- disabled (
ANDROID_FDSAN_ERROR_LEVEL_DISABLED
) - warn-once (
ANDROID_FDSAN_ERROR_LEVEL_WARN_ONCE
)- Upon detecting an error, emit a warning to logcat, generate a tombstone, and then continue execution with fdsan disabled.
- warn-always (
ANDROID_FDSAN_ERROR_LEVEL_WARN_ALWAYS
)- Same as warn-once, except without disabling after the first warning.
- fatal (
ANDROID_FDSAN_ERROR_LEVEL_FATAL
)- Abort upon detecting an error.
In Android Q, fdsan has a global default of warn-once. fdsan can be made more or less strict at runtime via the android_fdsan_set_error_level
function in <android/fdsan.h>
.
The likelihood of fdsan catching a file descriptor error is proportional to the percentage of file descriptors in your process that are tagged with an owner.
Using fdsan to fix a bug
No, really, how do I use fdsan?
Let's look at a simple contrived example that uses sleeps to force a particular interleaving of thread execution.
#include <err.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <chrono>
#include <thread>
#include <vector>
#include <android-base/unique_fd.h>
using namespace std::chrono_literals;
using std::this_thread::sleep_for;
void victim() {
sleep_for(300ms);
int fd = dup(STDOUT_FILENO);
sleep_for(200ms);
ssize_t rc = write(fd, "good\n", 5);
if (rc == -1) {
err(1, "good failed to write?!");
}
close(fd);
}
void bystander() {
sleep_for(100ms);
int fd = dup(STDOUT_FILENO);
sleep_for(300ms);
close(fd);
}
void offender() {
int fd = dup(STDOUT_FILENO);
close(fd);
sleep_for(200ms);
close(fd);
}
int main() {
std::vector<std::thread> threads;
for (auto function : { victim, bystander, offender }) {
threads.emplace_back(function);
}
for (auto& thread : threads) {
thread.join();
}
}
When running the program, the threads' executions will be interleaved as follows:
// victim bystander offender
int fd = dup(1); // 3
close(3);
int fd = dup(1); // 3
close(3);
int fd = dup(1); // 3
close(3);
write(3, "good\n") = 😞;
which results in the following output:
fdsan_test: good failed to write?!: Bad file descriptor
This implies that either we‘re accidentally closing out file descriptor too early, or someone else is helpfully closing it for us. Let’s use android::base::unique_fd
in victim
to guard the file descriptor with fdsan:

Now that we've guarded the file descriptor with fdsan, we should be able to find where the double close is:

...in the obviously correct bystander? What's going on here?
The reason for this is (hopefully!) not a bug in fdsan, and will commonly be seen when tracking down double-closes in processes that have sparse fdsan coverage. What actually happened is that the culprit closed bystander
's file descriptor between its open and close, which resulted in bystander
being blamed for closing victim
's fd. If we store bystander
's fd in a unique_fd
as well, we should get something more useful:

Hooray!
In a real application, things are probably not going to be as detectable or reproducible as our toy example, which is a good reason to try to maximize the usage of fdsan-enabled types like unique_fd
and ParcelFileDescriptor
, to improve the odds that double closes in other code get detected.
Enabling fdsan (as a C++ library implementer)
fdsan operates via two main primitives. android_fdsan_exchange_owner_tag
modifies a file descriptor's close tag, and android_fdsan_close_with_tag
closes a file descriptor with its tag. In the <android/fdsan.h>
header, these are marked with __attribute__((weak))
, so instead of passing down the platform version from JNI, availability of the functions can be queried directly. An example implementation of unique_fd follows:

Frequently seen bugs
- Native APIs not making it clear when they take ownership of a file descriptor.
- Solution: accept
unique_fd
instead ofint
in functions that take ownership. - Example one, two
- Solution: accept
- Receiving a
ParcelFileDescriptor
via Intent, and then passing it into JNI code that ends up calling close on it.- Solution: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Use fdsan?
- Example one, two
