+3.7	/proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd> - Information about opened file
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+This file provides information associated with an opened file. The regular
+files have at least two fields -- 'pos' and 'flags'. The 'pos' represents
+the current offset of the opened file in decimal form [see lseek(2) for
+details] and 'flags' denotes the octal O_xxx mask the file has been
+created with [see open(2) for details].
+
+A typical output is
+
+	pos:	0
+	flags:	0100002
+
+The files such as eventfd, fsnotify, signalfd, epoll among the regular pos/flags
+pair provide additional information particular to the objects they represent.
+
+	Eventfd files
+	~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+	pos:	0
+	flags:	04002
+	eventfd-count:	5a
+
+	where 'eventfd-count' is hex value of a counter.
+
+	Signalfd files
+	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+	pos:	0
+	flags:	04002
+	sigmask:	0000000000000200
+
+	where 'sigmask' is hex value of the signal mask associated
+	with a file.
+
+	Epoll files
+	~~~~~~~~~~~
+	pos:	0
+	flags:	02
+	tfd:        5 events:       1d data: ffffffffffffffff
+
+	where 'tfd' is a target file descriptor number in decimal form,
+	'events' is events mask being watched and the 'data' is data
+	associated with a target [see epoll(7) for more details].
+
+	Fsnotify files
+	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+	For inotify files the format is the following
+
+	pos:	0
+	flags:	02000000
+	inotify wd:3 ino:9e7e sdev:800013 mask:800afce ignored_mask:0 fhandle-bytes:8 fhandle-type:1 f_handle:7e9e0000640d1b6d
+
+	where 'wd' is a watch descriptor in decimal form, ie a target file
+	descriptor number, 'ino' and 'sdev' are inode and device where the
+	target file resides and the 'mask' is the mask of events, all in hex
+	form [see inotify(7) for more details].
+
+	If the kernel was built with exportfs support, the path to the target
+	file is encoded as a file handle.  The file handle is provided by three
+	fields 'fhandle-bytes', 'fhandle-type' and 'f_handle', all in hex
+	format.
+
+	If the kernel is built without exportfs support the file handle won't be
+	printed out.
+
+	If there is no inotify mark attached yet the 'inotify' line will be omitted.
+
+	For fanotify files the format is
+
+	pos:	0
+	flags:	02
+	fanotify flags:10 event-flags:0
+	fanotify mnt_id:12 mflags:40 mask:38 ignored_mask:40000003
+	fanotify ino:4f969 sdev:800013 mflags:0 mask:3b ignored_mask:40000000 fhandle-bytes:8 fhandle-type:1 f_handle:69f90400c275b5b4
+
+	where fanotify 'flags' and 'event-flags' are values used in fanotify_init
+	call, 'mnt_id' is the mount point identifier, 'mflags' is the value of
+	flags associated with mark which are tracked separately from events
+	mask. 'ino', 'sdev' are target inode and device, 'mask' is the events
+	mask and 'ignored_mask' is the mask of events which are to be ignored.
+	All in hex format. Incorporation of 'mflags', 'mask' and 'ignored_mask'
+	does provide information about flags and mask used in fanotify_mark
+	call [see fsnotify manpage for details].
+
+	While the first three lines are mandatory and always printed, the rest is
+	optional and may be omitted if no marks created yet.

+Using sparse for lock checking
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following macros are undefined for gcc and defined during a sparse

+locking.  These annotations tell sparse when a lock is held, with
+regard to the annotated function's entry and exit.

+__must_hold - The specified lock is held on function entry and exit.
+
+__acquires - The specified lock is held on function exit, but not entry.

+If the function enters and exits without the lock held, acquiring and
