I am still not sure whether this shouldn't rather be an implementation of POSIX's O_SEARCH or whether it is already an O_SEARCH implementation. If it's close enough it seems wasteful to add yet another mode. I probably cannot research it this coming week but can try to look at it the week after that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
