You obviously are aware of this but I'm just spelling it out. Iirc,
there will practically only ever be one light refcount per file.

For a light refcount to be used we know that the file descriptor table
isn't shared with any other task. So there are no threads that could
concurrently access the file descriptor table. We also know that the
file descriptor table cannot become shared while we're in system call
context because the caller can't create new threads and they can't
unshare the file descriptor table.

So there's only one fdget() caller (Yes, they could call fdget()
multiple times and then have to do fdput() multiple times but that's a
level of weirdness that we don't need to worry about.).

I'm a little unclear how this is supposed to be used. What I
specifically struggle with is what function does one have to call to
translate from a file descriptor to a file? IOW, where are the actual
entry points for turning fds into files? That's what I want to see and
that's what we need to make this interface usable generically.

Because naively, what I'm looking for is a Rust version of fdget() and
fdget_pos() that give me back a File<MaybeFdget> or a
File<MaybeFdgetPos>.

And then those both implement a get_file() method so the caller can take
an explicit long-term reference to the file.

The fget() above is really confusing to me because it always takes a
reference on the file that's pointed to by the fd and then it returns a
MaybeFdgetPos because presumably you want to indicate that the file
descriptor may refer to a file that may or may not be referenced by
another thread via fdget()/fdget_pos() already.

So I've _skimmed_ the binder RFC and looked at:
20231101-rust-binder-v1-13-08ba9197f637@xxxxxxxxxx
which states:

Add support for sending fds over binder.

Unlike the other object types, file descriptors are not translated until
the transaction is actually received by the recipient. Until that
happens, we store `u32::MAX` as the fd.

Translating fds is done in a two-phase process. First, the file
descriptors are allocated and written to the allocation. Then, once we
have allocated all of them, we commit them to the files in question.
Using this strategy, we are able to guarantee that we either send all of
the fds, or none of them.

So I'm curious. How does the binder fd sending work exactly? Because I
feel that this is crucial to understand here. Some specific questions:

* When file descriptors are passed the reference to these files via
fget() are taken _synchronously_, i.e., by the sending task, not the
receiver? IOW, is binder_translate_fd() called in the context of the
sender or the receiver. I assume it must be the sender because
otherwise the sender and receiver must share a file descriptor table
in order for the receiver to call fget().

* The receiving task then allocates new file descriptors and installs
the received files into its file descriptor table?

And so basically, what I'm after here is that the binder_translate_fd()
that calls fget() is done in the context of the sender and we _know_
that the fds can't have light references. Because if they did it could
only be by the calling task but they don't since the calling task uses
fget() on them. And if the calling task is multi-threaded and another
thread has called fdget() or fdget_pos() we know that they have taken
their own reference because the file descriptor table is shared.

So why is that fget() in here returning a File<MaybeFdgetPos>? This
doesn't make sense to me at first glance.
