As I said before, the good of a syscall tracing approach, is that it is a completely generic mechanism (extensible for other kind of hooks too), with minimal kernel impact, while allowing its module-users to stuff all the code they want in the part that it's their responsibility. So that a "we need this too" gets translated to "just do it in your code", instead of a request to add more stuff into the kernel, and maybe altering the userspace access interface (which is always painful). - Davide -- 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
