Hello!
> (Alexey if you think this is OK I'll do the changes)
I forgot to remind one thing: seems, BSD handles process credentials differently. It keeps separate "struct cred", which is attached to any task and reference counted. When credentials are changed, it makes copy-on-write, so that we may safely reference it in skb without copying.
If we will make the same thing (with proper locking etc.), we really will able to implement BSDlike SCM_CRED. Besides that "struct task" will be a bit shorter.
Well, I do not think, that it is worth to make, but in the case if someone will decide that it is not useless, it can be made only in this way.
Alexey
