With IORING_REGISTER_USE_REGISTERED_RING, an application can register the ring fd and use it via registered index rather than installed fd. This allows using a registered ring for everything *except* the initial mmap. With IORING_SETUP_NO_MMAP, io_uring_setup uses buffers allocated by the user, rather than requiring a subsequent mmap. The combination of the two allows a user to operate *entirely* via a registered ring fd, making it unnecessary to ever install the fd in the first place. So, add a flag IORING_SETUP_REGISTERED_FD_ONLY to make io_uring_setup register the fd and return a registered index, without installing the fd. This allows an application to avoid touching the fd table at all, and allows a library to never even momentarily install a file descriptor. This splits out an io_ring_add_registered_file helper from io_ring_add_registered_fd, for use by io_uring_setup.

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.
