Currently when passing a closed file descriptor to
fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_QUERY, fd_dup) the order matters:
fd = open("/dev/null");
fd_dup = dup(fd);
When we now close one of the file descriptors we get:
(1) fcntl(fd, fd_dup) // -EBADF
(2) fcntl(fd_dup, fd) // 0 aka not equal
depending on which file descriptor is passed first. That's not a huge
deal but it gives the api I slightly weird feel. Make it so that the
order doesn't matter by requiring that both file descriptors are valid:
(1') fcntl(fd, fd_dup) // -EBADF
(2') fcntl(fd_dup, fd) // -EBADF

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
