Subject: [PATCH WIP 0/3] Support userspace-selected fds
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2020 06:35:48 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200304143548.GA407676@localhost> (raw)

Prototype of the proposal I made at
https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/20200211223235.GA25104@localhost/ . See
also the discussion at
https://twitter.com/josh_triplett/status/1235004009502494721 .

The first patch is independent of the other two; it allows reserving
file descriptors below a certain minimum for userspace-selected fd
allocation only.

The second patch implements userspace-selected fd allocation for
openat2, introducing a new O_SPECIFIC_FD flag and an fd field in struct
open_how. In io_uring, this allows sequences like openat2/read/close
without waiting for the openat2 to complete. Multiple such sequences can
overlap, as long as each uses a distinct file descriptor.

The third patch adds userspace-selected fd allocation to pipe2 as well.
I did this partly as a demonstration of how simple it is to wire up
O_SPECIFIC_FD support for a new fd-allocating system call, and partly in
the hopes that this may make it more useful to wire up io_uring support
for pipe2 in the future.
