Hi Pavel, sorry for delay (was busy a bit). It seems this wont work. Look, previously we have had static int proc_fd_info(struct inode *inode, struct path *path, char *info) { struct task_struct *task = get_proc_task(inode); ... if (info) { ... } this makes info argument optional } static int proc_fd_link(struct dentry *dentry, struct path *path) { return proc_fd_info(dentry->d_inode, path, NULL); } it's possible because we didn't use seq-files engine. One we switch to seq-files the old proc_fd_info become a part of static const struct file_operations proc_fdinfo_file_operations = { .open = seq_fdinfo_open, ie the declaration of seq_fdinfo_open is restricted to file_operations::open method and I can't add opaque void *argument here. Sure I can add one more wrapper function but I guess this increase code complexity which I tried to escape.
