[CRIU] Open MPI and CRIU stdout/stderr

[Adrian Reber]

Cross-posting to criu and openmpi devel mailinglists.

To get fault tolerance back into Open MPI I added code to use criu as
a checkpoint/restart tool. I can checkpoint a process successfully
but I have troubles restarting it. CRIU has currently problems restoring
the process which is probably related stdout/stderr handling.

(00.026198)  15852: Error (tty.c:541): tty: Can't dup SELF_STDIN_OFF: Bad file descriptor

What does Open MPI do with the file descriptors for stdout/stderr?

Would it make sense to close stdout/stderr of each checkpointed process
before checkpointing it?

Is there something concerning stdout/stderr which I forgot to handle?
