If the applications passes in UINT_MAX as the file_slot, then that's a hint to allocate a fixed file descriptor rather than have one be passed in directly. This can be useful for having io_uring manage the direct descriptor space, and also allows multi-shot support to work with fixed files. Normal accept direct requests will complete with 0 for success, and < 0 in case of error. If io_uring is asked to allocated the direct descriptor, then the direct descriptor is returned in case of success.
