[libvirt PATCH] src: use closefrom() for mass closing of FDs
Posted by Daniel P. Berrangé 6 years ago 
On FreeBSD 12 the default ulimit settings allow for 100,000
open file descriptors. As a result spawning processes in
libvirt is abominably slow. Fortunately FreeBSD has long
since provided a good solution in the form of closefrom(),
which closes all FDs equal to or larger than the specified
parameter.

This accesses cmd->passfd[-1] and never increments fd.

Please use a for loop with 'i' for readability.

I think this whole function should be dropped:
