    io_uring: let IORING_OP_FILES_UPDATE support choosing fixed file slots · a7c41b46

    One big issue with the file registration feature is that it needs user
    space apps to maintain free slot info about io_uring's fixed file table,
    which really is a burden for development. io_uring now supports choosing
    free file slot for user space apps by using IORING_FILE_INDEX_ALLOC flag
    in accept, open, and socket operations, but they need the app to use
    direct accept or direct open, which not all apps are prepared to use yet.
    
    To support apps that still need real fds, make use of the registration
    feature easier. Let IORING_OP_FILES_UPDATE support choosing fixed file
    slots, which will store picked fixed files slots in fd array and let cqe
    return the number of slots allocated.
