[PATCH] relayfs: add support for relay files in other filesystems
This patch adds a couple of callback functions that allow a client to hook into relay_open()/close() and supply the files that will be used to represent the channel buffers; the default implementation if no callbacks are defined is to create the files in relayfs. This is to support the creation and use of relay files in other filesystems such as debugfs, as implied by the fact that relayfs_file_operations are exported.
