    input: Send unique keymap file descriptors to clients · 76829fc4

    Client may map any file descriptor opened for writing with PROT_WRITE
    themselves.  On linux, even a read-only file descriptor to an unlinked
    file can be re-opened with write permission through /proc/self/fd.
    
    The only way to prevent this is to create a memfd which
    is subsequently write-sealed.  Unfortunately this prevents clients
    from mapping with MAP_SHARED, which is already in widespread usage.
    
    To isolate and protect the keymap, whilst allowing MAP_SHARED clients
    to continue to work, use a unique file descriptor for each
    wl_keyboard resource.
