Sorry, patches > for later kernels are not available yet.) For later kernels, you should use relayfs, as this is exactly what it was made for. Hm, I think there is a trace patch for this exact reason that uses relayfs too :) Please please please do not abuse procfs for this kind of thing anymore, we are _really_ trying to clean this stuff up and even with out-of-the-tree patches like this, it sends the wrong message (and people copy code for this stuff from everywhere...) thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
