Subject: Re: [PATCH RESEND] vfs: pass the flag setting by fcntl() to vfs

Hi, Al:

I did reply to the original thread:

Understood, and that is the reason for the simple patch :-)

User-space networking stacks exist for several reasons, e.g., for migrating
from micro-kernel based systems, or for avoiding large changes to the networking
stack in the kernel.
------------------

Let me clarify a bit more:

FUSE, being a file system, should be able to support the same flag setting as
in the kernel. The patch facilitates that by passing the flags to the vfs.

Does this help? 

Thanks.   -- Enke
