That's harder to follow than it ought to be. What's the point of having max_fd = min(max_fd, cur_max); done in the caller, anyway? Note that in __range_close() you have to compare with re-fetched ->max_fds (look at pick_file()), so... BTW, I really wonder if the cost of jerking ->file_lock up and down in that loop in __range_close() is negligible. What values do we typically get from callers and how sparse does descriptor table tend to be for those?
