Hi Pavel, sorry for delay (was busy a bit). It seems this wont work.
Look, previously we have had

static int proc_fd_info(struct inode *inode, struct path *path, char *info)
{
struct task_struct *task = get_proc_task(inode);
...

if (info) {
...
}

this makes info argument optional
}

static int proc_fd_link(struct dentry *dentry, struct path *path)
{
return proc_fd_info(dentry->d_inode, path, NULL);
}

it's possible because we didn't use seq-files engine. One we switch to
seq-files the old proc_fd_info become a part of

static const struct file_operations proc_fdinfo_file_operations = {
.open = seq_fdinfo_open,

ie the declaration of seq_fdinfo_open is restricted to file_operations::open
method and I can't add opaque void *argument here.

Sure I can add one more wrapper function but I guess this increase code
complexity which I tried to escape.

Cyrill
