Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v1 5/5] rust: file: add `DeferredFdCloser`

Hi Alice,

A quick comment on referencing commits:

The convention is to write these commit references like this:

    commit 80cd795630d6 ("binder: fix use-after-free due to
ksys_close() during fdget()")

I recommend generating them with a Git pretty format -- see the config
in the bottom part of the section at
https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes.

Also, given it is a kernel convention, please avoid the Markdown
backticks in this case.

> +/// See comments on `binder_do_fd_close` and commit `80cd795630d65`.

Same here, i.e. in comments and documentation too (and emails too,
especially if not referenced elsewhere).

While I am at it, a few other notes below too I noticed:

> +    /// Create a new `DeferredFdCloser`.

[`DeferredFdCloser`]

Please use the early return style here, if possible, to unindent all this.

`fl_owner_t`

Should this block be split?

Doclink them if possible; otherwise `EBADF`.

Cheers,
Miguel
