 *
 * A fs_handle wraps a file descriptor created by OPEN(3). It is suspendable
 * meaning that the underlying file may be closed at any time unless the
 * handle is marked as being in-use (see fs_handle_get_fd() and
 * fs_handle_put_fd()).
 *
 * If the tracker opted to close the underlying file descriptor, it will
 * be restored to its last known state when it is obtained through
 * the fs_handle's fs_handle_get_fd() method.
 *
 * Note that a suspendable file descriptor can be closed by the fd tracker at
 * anytime when it is not in use. This means that the user should not rely on it
 * being safe to unlink the file. Moreover, concurent modifications to the file
 * (e.g. truncation) may react differently than if the file descriptor was kept
 * open.

 * suspending file descriptors as needed, and invoke the provided callback

 * to be large enough to hold 'fd_count * sizeof(int)'.

 * exhaustions.

 * negative tracker-specific codes may be returned:
 *   - ENOMEM: allocation of a new entry failed,
 *   - EMFILE: too many unsuspendable fds are opened and the tracker can't
