Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/7] Add support for per-file stream ID
Jens Axboe <axboe@...com> writes:
One small question.
You states that all IDs are equals but can we reserve some IDs
for internal kernel purposes. For example very short lived data (files
opened with O_TEMP) and so on.
Also small nitpicking see below.
