In theory you could share an fd created in a 32-bit thread to a 64-bit thread or vice versa, but I think at that point you absolutely are in "you get to keep the pieces" land. > Sometimes I think that in_compat_syscall() should have a mode in which calling it warns (e.g. not actually in a syscall when doing things in io_uring). And the relevant operations should be properly wired up to avoid global state like this. What do you mean with "properly wired up". Do you really want to spread ->compat_foo methods everywhere, including read and write? I found in_compat_syscall() a lot small and easier to maintain than all the separate compat cruft.
