Absolutely. Which is why I said it's _conceptually_ similar to the alias lookup. And I suspect we can even use some of the same practical logic, but it's definitely not _exactly_ the same.

Yeah, I would like to see the actual aio.c pull request and the use-after-free fixes. All the patches look fine, I just don't have the final end result.. And that takes precedence anyway. Right now the "open_pidfd()" is a future discussion. Linus
