If we just want some pseudo-private fd space for glibc to use then I'd have thought that the existing code could be tweaked to do that: top-down allocation, start at some high offset, etc. But apparently there's more to it than this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
