Subject: [PATCHSET v2 0/6] Support selectable file descriptors
Date: Wed,  4 Mar 2020 11:00:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

One of the fabled features with chains has long been the desire to
support things like:

<open fileX><read from fileX><close fileX>

in a single chain. This currently doesn't work, since the read/close
depends on what file descriptor we get on open.

The original attempt at solving this provided a means to pass
descriptors between chains in a link, this version takes a different
route. Based on Josh's support for O_SPECIFIC_FD, we can instead control
what fd value we're going to get out of open (or accept). With that in
place, we don't need to do any magic to make this work. The above chain
then becomes:

<open fileX with fd Y><read from fd Y><close fd Y>

which is a lot more useful, and allows any sort of weird chains without
needing to nest "last open" file descriptors.

Updated the test program to use this approach:

https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/liburing/plain/test/orc.c?h=fd-select

which forces the use of fd==89 for the open, and then uses that for the
read and close.

Outside of this adaptation, fixed a few bugs and cleaned things up.
