To quote your own posting upthread (Message-ID: <201510212033.t9lkx4g8007...@room101.nl.oracle.com>) > Well, a file descriptor really only exists in the context of a process; > in-flight it is no longer a file descriptor as there process context with ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > a file descriptor table; so pointers to file descriptions are passed > around. IMO it shows that the wording is anything but clear. The only way to claim that it's accurate is, indeed, to declare that the contents of in-flight SCM_RIGHTS datagram should be counted as file descriptors and that's too much of a stretch for the reasons you've pointed to. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
