Hmm, it still seems to be wrong:
/* Do a sanity check on nfds ... */
if (nfds > NR_OPEN)
return -EINVAL;
if (nfds > current->files->max_fds)
nfds = current->files->max_fds;
The second if statement should be removed. And it might be better to use
current->rlim[RLIMIT_NOFILE].rlim_cur instead of NR_OPEN.
