As mentioned elsewhere, the file descriptor table is an array and a bitmask - finding the next fd is a matter of finding the first unset bit, which is extremely efficient. And that's before we ignore that the file descriptor table is r

This sounds like premature optimization. FD availability is tracked in a bitmask, and finding the next available slot is a matter of scanning for the first unset bit under a spinlock. This is going to be extremely fast. While you could sh
