-struct files_struct *dup_fd(struct files_struct *oldf, int *errorp)
+struct files_struct *dup_fd(struct files_struct *oldf, unsigned int max_fds, int *errorp)

Shouldn't this get changed to use ERR_PTR() etc?

..

-int __close_range(struct files_struct *files, unsigned fd, unsigned max_fd)
+int __close_range(unsigned fd, unsigned max_fd, unsigned int flags)

If the lowest fd that had ever has CLOEXEC (or CLOFORK) set were
remembered a flag could be passed in to say 'only close the fd
with CLOEXEC set'.

Given that CLOEXEC is almost never cleared, and is typically set
on all but a few fd the 'optimisation' of the bitmap is
probably a pessimisation.
