[PATCH RFC POC 15/50] sh: commit fds on syscall exit

From: Christian Brauner

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 08:33:16 EST


Add TIF_FD_SLOTS to the syscall work mask. syscall_exit rereads the
flags after the system call and goes to syscall_exit_work for any bit
in the all-work mask, but hands over a copy shifted right by eight
when the bit was in the upper byte. Reload the flags there and test
the full mask, so that the bit reaches do_syscall_trace_leave().
