Re: [RFC][PATCH 1/5] create fs flag to mark c/r supported fs's

[Dave Hansen]

BTW, after you apply this and turn on the config option, you do get a
ton of warnings at runtime.  

qemu:~# cat /proc/*/fdinfo/* | grep check  | sort | uniq -c | sort -n 
      1 checkpointable:	0(proc does not support checkpoint)
      6 checkpointable:	0(pipefs does not support checkpoint)
      8 checkpointable:	0(devpts does not support checkpoint)
      9 checkpointable:	0(sockfs does not support checkpoint)
     17 checkpointable:	0(special file)
     17 checkpointable:	1

The special files are /dev/{null,console,xconsole}.  The next step
should probably be to address simple special files like /dev/null.  I
think I'll do that with a new f_op.  Any thoughts?
