io_uring can currently open/close regular files or fixed/direct descriptors. Or you can instantiate a fixed descriptor from a regular one, and then close the regular descriptor. But you currently can't turn a purely fixed/direct descriptor into a regular file descriptor. IORING_OP_FIXED_FD_INSTALL adds support for installing a direct descriptor into the normal file table, just like receiving a file descriptor or opening a new file would do. This is all nicely abstracted into receive_fd(), and hence adding support for this is truly trivial. Since direct descriptors are only usable within io_uring itself, it can be useful to turn them into real file descriptors if they ever need to be accessed via normal syscalls. This can either be a transitory thing, or just a permanent transition for a given direct descriptor. By default, new fds are installed with O_CLOEXEC set. The application can disable O_CLOEXEC by setting IORING_FIXED_FD_NO_CLOEXEC in the sqe->install_fd_flags member.
