This patch adds a line to /proc/PID/status > showing how many queue items are in use, and allowed, for your uid. Two questions: 1) This changes the interface for consumers of /proc/[pid]/status data, do we care?

This has been asked for before. thanks, -chris -- Linux Security Modules http://lsm.immunix.org http://lsm.bkbits.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
