Hello Balbir,

Thank you for the review!

Indeed, I'll fix that. But to keep it aligned with the other backslashes, 
there would be no spaces between it and the final closing parenthesis. 
Either that, or reindent the other backslashes one more level. I think I 
prefer the former.

It has 132 bytes. Would it be better to use kmalloc instead?

Indeed, I forgot to do that. I will add the check.

Good catch. I'll check if nr_fds == fdset->nr_fds and return with an error 
if they're different.
