Description

nginx version: nginx1.10.3

In ngx_process.c, function ngx_spawn_process() use the following:
<pre>
socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, ngx_processes[s].channel)
</pre>
and create two channel, then use fork() to create a new process. In the child process, it close the channel[0] and use channel[1] to receive the master's message . The master process use channel[0] to send message to the worker. And here I found that the master's channel[1] has not closed, is it a bug?

No, certainly it is not a bug - nothing wrong happens due to this behaviour. Moreover, clearly this is intentional, as the code closes unneeded channel[1] sockets in the ngx_worker_process_init() function, and ngx_close_channel() unconditionally closes both sockets.

The code probably can be optimized to close channel[1] earlier, though this will require changes in various places, including ones mentioned above.
