Hello Philippe or Jan,

I need to retrieve the socket file descriptor from an RTDM device driver 
routine. From what I have seen there is no simple way to obtain this int 
value from struct rtdm_fd. I have identified three possible ways to do 
this, all of them necessitate modification of Xenomai code outside the 
driver:

1. Iterate over the rb_tree rtdm_fd->owner->fds by means of the macro 
xntree_for_each_entry(pos, root, member). For this macro to work the 
definition of struct rtdm_fd_index must be known to the driver which 
means that it would have to be moved from kernel/cobalt/rtdm/fd.c to 
e.g. include/cobalt/kernel/rtdm/fd.h.

2. Similar to 1. but offer a new function rtdm_fd_get_ufd(struct rtdm_fd 
*fd) in which the rb_tree is searched.

3. Introduce a new value "int ufd" in struct rtdm_fd for setting and 
getting the ufd directly (which would be overkill I suppose because the 
vast majority of drivers don't need it).

What do you think, which of the above would you prefer?
