Problem in getting File descriptor from pipeline

[Keyur Patel]

Hi,

In our embedded device when device goes in low memory state due to some operation in other application, we get error in allocation of buffer and two fds are created but due to error one fd which was due to "dup()" was unable to close automatically on releasing pipeline.

Hence application fd count is getting increasing more and more.

This is a bug in gst-plugin-good.

I need to release both fds in erroneous condition hence i required 2nd one.
But its not possible to get 2nd fd (created by dup) at application level.

So due to that need to apply patch for plugin code.

Regards,
Keyur

Then it's using the buffer pool there but not on your Ubuntu PC. That's the only place where there's a call to dup().

There's no way to get the fd there, but that should be necessary either because it's just a duplicate of the other one. What do you need it for?
