63	block-file-emu fails in emu SMP	gut	becoulet	"Block-file-emu emulates a block device behavior by accessing a file on the host system.

Processors in emu SMP mode are emulated by creating processes, done by calling '''fork()'''. But with '''fork()''', file descriptors are not passed to child processes, and thus accesses to the block device from other processors fail.

On Linux hosts, the only ones on which the SMP mode is supported, we should call '''clone(CLONE_FILES)''' to create others processors in order to share all file descriptors."	defect	closed	major		arch/emu	duplicate
