Subject: [PATCH RFC POC 02/50] entry: commit fds on syscall exit
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 13:30:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915-work-fd-reserve-unify-folded-v1-2-4d5217d6b246@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915-work-fd-reserve-unify-folded-v1-0-4d5217d6b246@kernel.org>
Reserving a descriptor with fd_prepare() marks the task with
SYSCALL_WORK_FD_SLOTS. The syscall exit path already tests the
syscall work bits so a syscall that deferred nothing pays nothing new
and one that did takes the slow path. syscall_exit_work() commits the
reservations before audit and ptrace.
Architectures without the generic entry code grow TIF_FD_SLOTS bit in
their syscall exit work in the following patches.
