The type of a fd is highly variable in the kernel. Just try this for fun:
grep [^a-z]fd[^a-z] -rsI include/linux/
'int' or 'unsigned int' are by far the most common types.
But in structs I did see a few __s32 types, so I think __s32 is a decent
type to use. Just make sure it is __s32 everywhere. Right now __u32 and
int are both used.
