[systemd-devel] socket activation systemd holding a reference to an accepted socket

[Pathangi Janardhanan]

Hi,
 Please see this thread
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/35437, and for
that usecase,  the suggestion to do shutdown did work fine, and with that I
was able to handle this case.

 At that time, the other request I had was if sd_pid_notify_with_fds or
equivalent could be enhanced to explictly ask systemd to forgot some FDs,
as I felt that would be useful in situations where systemd is being used as
FD store, and the FDs that are being stored may not always support shutdown
type of activity.
