To to this within the device driver will be a non trivial task because you wil have to open a filing system channel from withing the open call of a non filing system device driver.
That's what the FILTER THING would be very good for.
Probably not (?).
I presume the 'thing' use call would open the channel to the filing system.
If you call the thing use routine from within the PFF channel open call (which is what I see proposed), you have the same problem as you will STILL be within the channel open call when using the 'thing'!
Damned. Quite right of course. There is at least one person still thinking. So ok, let's try the very simple scheme first, forcing the user to switch filter job when switching intermediate protocol. At least it will not be difficult to write.
