OK, I have a really evil one.
What if task 1234 does:
open(O_RDONLY, "/proc/5678/fdinfo/44");
and task 5678 does:
open(O_RDONLY, "/proc/5678/fdinfo/55");
There is no right order.
The only right way I can think to do it is that we have to loop on the
restore and defer files that we can't seem to find right now, hoping
that they'll show up as the restore progresses.
Basically:
for_each_cr_task()
deferred_files = restore_files()
retry:
making_progress = 0
for_each(deferred_file)
restore(deferred_file)
if (making_progress)
goto retry;
