[ Upstream commitd888c83fce] Jason Donenfeld reports that my commit1c24a18639("fs: fd tables have to be multiples of BITS_PER_LONG") doesn't work, and the reason is an embarrassing brown-paper-bag bug. Yes, we want to align the number of fds to BITS_PER_LONG, and yes, the reason they might not be aligned is because the incoming 'max_fd' argument might not be aligned. But aligining the argument - while simple - will cause a "infinitely big" maxfd (eg NR_OPEN_MAX) to just overflow to zero. Which most definitely isn't what we want either. The obvious fix was always just to do the alignment last, but I had moved it earlier just to make the patch smaller and the code look simpler. Duh. It certainly made _me_ look simple.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
