Hey, This is v3 of this patchset. This fixes a braino spotted by Oleg (/me tips proverbial hat) and splits the implementation of close_range() into adding the actual syscall and the wiring-up of the syscall itself as requested by Arnd. It also adds a missing bump of __NR_compat_syscalls for arm64 that Arnd spotted. For controversy around whether or not this is the greatest idea and api ever I refer the avid reader to the comment section of LWN. /* v2 */ In accordance with some comments by Linus and Al there's a cond_resched() added to the close loop similar to what is done for close_files(). A common helper pick_file() for __close_fd() and __close_range() has been split out. This allows to only make a cond_resched() call when filp_close() has been called similar to what is done in close_files(). Maybe that's not worth it. Jann mentioned that cond_resched() looks rather cheap. So it maybe that we could simply do: while (fd <= max_fd) { __close_fd(files, fd++); cond_resched(); } I also added a missing test for close_range(fd, fd, 0). Thanks!
