What other system call in the kernel writes a file descriptor's value into the address space of a user process before the file descriptor is actually usable? That's really terrible semantically. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
