26 * Marks the handle as the most recently used and marks the 'fd' as
27 * "in-use". This prevents the tracker from recycling the underlying
28 * file descriptor while it is actively being used by a thread.
29 *
30 * Don't forget that the tracker may be initiating an fd 'suspension'
31 * from another thread as the need to free an fd slot may arise from any
32 * thread within the daemon.
33 *
34 * Note that a restorable fd should never be held for longer than
35 * strictly necessary (e.g. the duration of a syscall()).
36 *
37 * Returns the fd on success, otherwise a negative value may be returned
38 * if the restoration of the fd failed.
