So first you dup2() to establish the ->max_fds you want, then do such opens? What used/unused ratio do you expect to deal with? And what kind of locking are you going to use? Keep in mind that e.g. dup2() is dependent on the lack of allocations while it's working, so it's not as simple as "we don't need no stinkin' ->files_lock"... -- 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
