Please do not drop the link to the upstream bug when replacing one patch 
with another. You can also simply amend my patch and add your SOB.

Also, why assume specifically 1024? We either need to close all the open 
files, or none, and your patch creates a situation where only some of 
the files may be closed. I'd say we should drop those two code snippets 
altogether instead of hardcoding 1024 into them.

Oh, and: please do comment in the upstream bug (e.g. with your 
benchmarks from the cover letter), otherwise upstream may do nothing 
because they're not using Docker.
