Hey Christian,
Could we please have a manual page for the close_range(2) syscall
that's about to land in 5.9?

Hi Christian,
Could we have a manual page for this API (best before it's merged)?

Michael

This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a range
of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling task.
I've also coordinated with some FreeBSD developers who got in touch with
me (Cced below). FreeBSD intends to add the same syscall once we merged it.
