I assumed that since the TODO came about at roughly the same time that systemd gained the ability to hold onto fds for services while they restarted, that this would be a way to identify the purpose of returned file descriptors without having to store a mapping of the inode number and device number to fd purpose into /run. The provided patch doesn't add a way to pass an identifier for a fd to systemd though so if that were the motivation, then this patch wouldn't be sufficient. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
