How about this:


static int do_dup2(struct files_struct *files,
	struct file *file, unsigned fd, unsigned flags)
__releases(&files->file_lock)
{
	struct file *tofree;
	struct fdtable *fdt;

	...

	/*
	 * New bit, allowing the file to be null. Doesn't have the same
	 * "sanity check" bits from __alloc_fd
	 */
	if (likely(file))
		get_file(file);
	rcu_assign_pointer(fdt->fd[fd], file);

	__set_open_fd(fd, fdt);

	...
}

/*
 * File Receive - Receive a file from another process
 *
 * Encapsulates the logic to handle receiving a file from another task. It
 * does not install the file descriptor. That is delegated to the user. If
 * an error occurs that results in the file descriptor not being installed,
 * they must put_unused_fd.
 *
 * fd should be >= 0 if you intend on replacing a file descriptor, or
 * alternatively -1 if you want file_receive to allocate an FD for you
 *
 * Returns the fd number on success.
 * Returns negative error code on failure.
 *
 */
int file_receive(int fd, unsigned int flags, struct file *file)
{
	int err;
	struct socket *sock;
	struct files_struct *files = current->files;

	err = security_file_receive(file);
	if (err)
		return err;

	if (fd >= 0) {
		if (fd >= rlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE))
			return -EBADF;

		spin_lock(&files->file_lock);
		err = expand_files(files, fd);
		if (err < 0) {
			goto out_unlock;
		}

		err = do_dup2(files, NULL, fd, flags);
		if (err)
			return err;
	} else {
		fd = get_unused_fd_flags(flags);
		if (fd < 0)
			return fd;
	}

	sock = sock_from_file(file, &err);
	if (sock) {
		sock_update_netprioidx(&sock->sk->sk_cgrp_data);
		sock_update_classid(&sock->sk->sk_cgrp_data);
	}

	return fd;

out_unlock:
	spin_unlock(&files->file_lock);
	return err;
}

---

then the code in scm.c:
err = file_receive(-1, flags, fp[i]);
if (err < 0)
	break;

new_fd = err;
err = put_user(new_fd, cmfptr);
if (err) {
	put_unused_fd(new_fd);
	break;
}

/* Bump the usage count and install the file. */
fd_install(new_fd, get_file(fp[i]));

And addfd:
ret = file_receive(addfd->fd, addfd->flags, addfd->file);
if (ret >= 0)
	fd_install(ret, get_file(addfd->file));
addfd->ret = ret;

----

This way there is:
1. No "put_user" logic in file_receive
2. Minimal (single) branching logic, unless there's something in between
   the file_receive and installing the FD, such as put_user.
3. Doesn't implement fd_install, so there's no ambiguity about it being
   file_install_received vs. just the receive logic.
