Design the kernel to make doing this difficult. Define some offsets as follows:
#define FOO_PID 0 #define FOO_PPID 1
Now, how is anyone going to create "an extra inserted DWORD" between those? They'd need to renumber FOO_PPID and any other values that come after it.
The "DWORD" idea is messed up too BTW. Use __u64 everywhere. - 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/
