I was not planning to touch anything but epoll, signalfd and timerfd files. > pipes()/sockets() can use read()/write()/rw_verify_area() and thus need > file->f_path.dentry->d_inode (so each pipe needs a separate dentry) Currently, they use a single inode, and multiple dentries (to give the name of the class). But this could be changed to a single dentry like Linus was suggesting. I'll wait for Al's reply before doing anything. Memory saving can be something, on top of the already big one of avoiding code duplication. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
