Have you looked into something like the talloc used by Samba (and others)? http://talloc.samba.org/ http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/samba4/source/lib/talloc/talloc_guide.txt By having a context, we could do better resource tracking and also cleanup would be easier on removal. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
