Hi.
(Sorry Jiri - unintentionally originally replied only to you).

I would like to hear the arguments for using these handles. I understand there may have been some previous discussion, but am unable to find it.
It seems far more sensible to me to not pass around a handle that virtually nothing actually uses, and instead store and utilise the state in the place where it is actually useful. If we had more than one struct hibernate_io_handle in use at a time, I could understand going this way. As it stands, however...
Regards,
Nigel
