The return statement in the OpenFifo wrapper function implicitly boxes the *fifo pointer into an io.ReadWriteCloser interface value, even when the value is (*fifo)(nil). It is the same gotcha described in https://go.dev/doc/faq#nil_error and causes the same sorts of confusing situations. Modify the OpenFifo wrapper function to return a nil interface value when openFifo returns a nil pointer value. Signed-off-by: Cory Snider <csnider@mirantis.com>

Annoyingly, assert.Nil considers non-nil interface values which contain nil concrete values to be nil values despite those values being != nil.

Oh! Not a blocker (at all), but if you want to reduce code-churn, perhaps reformat the octal values to the new format (0o600) while updating these lines

The return statement in the
OpenFifowrapper function implicitly boxes the*fifopointer into anio.ReadWriteCloserinterface value, even when the value is(*fifo)(nil). It is the same gotcha described in https://go.dev/doc/faq#nil_error and causes the same sorts of confusing situations. Modify theOpenFifowrapper function to return anilinterface value whenopenFiforeturns anilpointer value.(*fifo)(nil)value could escape the package, and therefore the root cause of SIGSEGV dockerd 20.10.2 docker/for-linux#1186 for which fifo.Close(): prevent possible panic if fifo is nil #32 was added as a workaround.
