The F_DUPFD and its relative F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC both expect an int argument as extra argument, being the minimal value for the new FD. This argument must be within the accepted range (see ulimit -H -n). This was detected in Ubuntu during testing against the latest glibc, stracing resulted in: 107244 fcntl(1, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, 1847846346272) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) On the system in question (ppc64el machine running Ubuntu Questing), the relevant limit is 524288. For the fix we use 3 as a reasonable floor value, as in the first one after stderr. It also happens to be the one used in revokefs/main.c.
