[PATCH RFC POC 04/50] ARC: commit fds on syscall exit

Christian Brauner brauner at kernel.org
Tue Sep 15 04:30:50 PDT 2026


Add TIF_FD_SLOTS and test it on the untraced return from a system
call. A task that reserved descriptors takes the tracesys_exit path,
where syscall_trace_exit() commits them before the ptrace exit stop.
The traced path already ends up there.
