Summary0000956: lfs fails to restore umask after mkdir
DescriptionOriginal report by Élie Roux: https://github.com/lualatex/luaotfload/issues/285

The bug is a bit elusive since it appears to affect
only Linux, not Windows (running Cygwin + TL2015 binaries).
Also, due to the different approach to directory handling,
it usually not triggered in Context.
Steps To ReproduceThis snippet: https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests/src/89bb50d8183d1cc3c67129d1be2d830b6dcd51c4/plain/pln-perms.tex

1. ``$ umask 077``
2. ``$ luatex pln-perms.tex
3. ``stat -c %a pln-perms.pdf``

Subject: [PATCH] lfs: restore umask in mkdir()

Address issue #956

The ``mkdir`` function of the luafilesystem library sets a different
umask when creating directories. However, when the operation fails, the
original mask is never restored. As a consequence, Luatex will create
files with a 0666 mask afterwards (e. g. the PDF or a Latex ``.aux``
file)

The fix is to restore the umask earlier, before checking whether the
operation succeded.

Btw., upstream lfs doesn’t tamper with the
umask at all: https://github.com/keplerproject/luafilesystem/blob/master/src/lfs.c#L439

That’s probably even better.

Subject: [PATCH] lfs: remove calls to umask(2) in mkdir()

Address issue #956

The ``mkdir`` function of the luafilesystem library sets a different
umask when creating directories. However, when the operation fails, the
original mask is never restored. As a consequence, Luatex will create
files with a 0666 mask afterwards (e. g. the PDF or a Latex ``.aux``
file)

The fix is to not tamper with the umask at all. Upstream decided that as
well:

    * upstream commit fd028d32.. (2009),
    * upstream discussion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lua.kepler-project/3920/focus=3930
