This one is still utterly broken, and (again) cannot have been even
tested in the most basic way. So let's focus on not how things are
phrased, but proper patch etiquette:

- Always (ALWAYS) test your patches. There's no excuse for not doing
  so, and you are blacklisting yourself and ruining your reputation
  by sending garbage that doesn't even pass basic functionality.

- If something isn't tested at all, make it VERY clear that this is
  the case. Generally that's done by putting RFC in there and also
  stating that this is just for discussion, it's not a patch that
  is proposed for inclusion.

- Slow down! I see you sent a patch 10 min after this one, with no
  extra notice in there why that was the case. It's clearly because
  you figured out that this hasty send was bad.

I'd really like to get this in for 5.10, but I'd almost feel better
just redoing the patch myself to ensure it doesn't have other silly
errors in there. Don't put yourself in that position.

You're still returning '0' for the fd.
