But I mentioned it when it came up the first time. I don't say this is indeed what is wanted/needed here. But there are IMO some similarities and I think implementing O_SEARCH and O_EXEC is desirable. If it means completely different implementations from te proposed O_NODE, so be it. But my gut tells me there is some overlay. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
