[Devel] Re: [RFC v14-rc2][PATCH 19/29] Record 'struct file' object instead of the file name for VMAs

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Quoting Oren Laadan (orenl at cs.columbia.edu):
> The vma->vm_file can be an arbitrary file pointer, including one that
> is in use by a process as well and provided originally via the mmap()
> syscall.
> 
> Thus, when dumping the state of a VMA, save a file object instead
> of only the file name. As with other file objects, if it's seen for
> the first time it is dumped entirely, otherwise only the 'objref' is
> saved. The restart logic updated accordingly.
