I actually read your patches and spent time to see the pros and cons.

If you dont need reviewers, please dont post your patches on lkml.

If I am not mistaken, you added a test in fget()/fget_light(), which is a known hot point for said huge processes.

fget() dont need to access the bitmap at all. Using fd_slots means less (50%) file pointers per cache line.

On my machines, there is a ratio of 100/1 in cpu time for fget(),fget_light() against get_unused_fd().
