Xie, Regarding the patches: 1. The replaced code in fourth patch is checked to be a copy-paste of the `sys_close` syscall. 2. It is not uncommon for the applications to close FD making it allocated for a different file. In our particular case the file is closed in the *source* process and *added* to a target process, so matching fds should not be the problem. 3. There is an implementation of the exact same thing in the SCM_RIGHTS [1] that can be used as the reference code.
