Ping? Any additional comments on this patch?
Konstantin's v5 no.

Your v4 updated to reflect Andrew Morton's concerns in the changelog
yes.
Ok, whatever. If I the only blocker then let it be v4 design.

Thanks! I will resend the V4 patch with a plain text man page for translate_pid.

Syscall integration have changed since then.
I've prepared v6 patch with v4 design and updated comment.


Thanks,
Nagarathnam.
