OK, here's a very simple idea, I'll demonstrate it with the SRC domain object - make it possible to map an src domain to an open fd - verify that all processes map a specific src domain to the same inode This way we don't need our own filesystem, any file can be used to share src domains, applications just need to pass some kind of unique domain handle around: one way to do this would be for the app to use a real file, and actually write the handle value in this file. How does this sound? -- MST _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
