[RFC 0/4] open/accept directly into io_uring fixed file table

[Pavel Begunkov]

Implement an old idea allowing open/accept io_uring requests to register
a newly created file as a io_uring's fixed file instead of placing it
into a task's file table. The switching is encoded in io_uring's SQEs
by setting sqe->buf_index/file_index, so restricted to 2^16-1. Don't
think we need more, but may be a good idea to scrap u32 somewhere
instead.

>From the net side only needs a function doing __sys_accept4_file()
but not installing fd, see 2/4.

Only RFC for now, the new functionality is tested only for open yet.
I hope we can remember the author of the idea to add attribution.

Pavel Begunkov (4):
  io_uring: allow open directly into fixed fd table
  net: add an accept helper not installing fd
  io_uring: hand code io_accept()' fd installing
  io_uring: accept directly into fixed file table
