This +is an enhancement over the other :gh:`97514` fixes so that access is no +longer limited only by filesystem permissions. + +The file descriptor exchange of control pipes with the forked worker process +now requires an explicit acknowledgement byte to be sent over the socket after +the exchange on all forkserver supporting platforms. That makes testing the +above much easier. |
