If the application passes in IORING_FILE_INDEX_ALLOC 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.

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 Restructured Text 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.
