Ok, will do.

Thanks for the review. I agree that some of the information can be omitted
since it can be accessed using stat and readlink. I still think it is useful
to have ino in the output though.

Here's the updated patch:

[PATCH] proc: extend /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>

This patch extends /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd> to report information about open
files, and pathname. This information can be useful to know when debugging an
application.

For each file descriptor, the information is provided in the following format:

kerndev: ~/code/kernel$ cat /proc/`pgrep firefox-bin`/fdinfo/29
pos: 49152
flags: 02
uid: 500
gid: 500
ino: 13205793
fd_flags: FD_CLOEXEC # if close-on-exec flag is set
