Hmm, I can see how that might be ugly. On the other hand it doesn't seem like the unix way for a process not to be able to do something with a file if it has a valid fd. > Wrt/ your actual question: we can remove the tgid stuff from ehca kernel > code. When do you expect me to send a patch at latest? I don't think it's super-urgent. If you can't do it, say, by the end of this week, then I'll apply Pavel's patch so we don't block his progress on namespace stuff. But I would still like to get a patch to move this out of ehca at some point, so please don't drop it. If you guys think there is value in having the checks, then please send a patch to add the ownership stuff to the uverbs core and we can argue about it then.
