Hi "Eric,

Thank you for the patch! Yet something to improve:

improve the system. BTW, we also suggest to use '--base' option to specify the

0895e91d60ef9b Randy Dunlap 2007-10-21 3195 * It is safe and reasonable to cache /proc entries for a task until
0895e91d60ef9b Randy Dunlap 2007-10-21 3196 * that task exits. After that they just clog up the dcache with
0895e91d60ef9b Randy Dunlap 2007-10-21 3197 * useless entries, possibly causing useful dcache entries to be
0895e91d60ef9b Randy Dunlap 2007-10-21 3198 * flushed instead. This routine is proved to flush those useless
0895e91d60ef9b Randy Dunlap 2007-10-21 3199 * dcache entries at process exit time.

0895e91d60ef9b Randy Dunlap 2007-10-21 3201 * NOTE: This routine is just an optimization so it does not guarantee
0895e91d60ef9b Randy Dunlap 2007-10-21 3202 * that no dcache entries will exist at process exit time it
0895e91d60ef9b Randy Dunlap 2007-10-21 3203 * just makes it very unlikely that any will persist.
