Applications may end up allocating a bunch of shmfence objects, each of which uses a file descriptor, which must be kept open lest some other client ask for a copy of it later on. Lacking an API that can turn a memory mapping back into a file descriptor, about the best we can do is push the file descriptors out of the way of other X clients so that we don't run out of the ability to accept new connections. This uses fcntl F_GETFD to push the FD up above MAXCLIENTS. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> Reviewed-by: Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org>
X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
