I like this, could it be exported it a bit more formally in /proc for each file descriptor?

That would be similar to the tools for monitoring network connections, which are extremly useful in practice. -Andi -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
