cryo does not (cannot ?) recreate files if the application created
a file before checkpoint and the file does not exist at the time
of restart.

Note that the 'flags' field in '/proc/$pid/fdinfo/$fd' will not
have the O_CREAT (or O_TRUNC, O_EXCL, O_NOCTTY) flags. These
are cleared in __dentry_open()).

At the time of restart, is there a way for cryo to know that the
file must be created ?

To reproduce:
        - run following program, 
        - checkpoint after the first printf
        - rm /tmp/foo1
        - restart       # fails to open file during restart

#include <stdio.h>

#include <sys/fcntl.h>

main()
{
        int fd;
        int i;
        char *buf = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

        fd = open("/tmp/foo1", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666);

        if (fd < 0) {
                perror("open");
                exit(1);
        }
        printf("%d: Opened '/tmp/foo1', fd %d\n", getpid(), fd);
        
        for (i = 0; i < strlen(buf); i++) {
                if (write(fd, &buf[i], 1) < 0) {
                        printf("Error %d writing %c to file, i %d\n",
                                        errno, buf[i], i);
                        exit(1);
                }
                printf("%d: i %d, wrote %c\n", getpid(), i, buf[i]);
                sleep(2);
        }
