I'm looking for an efficient way to determine the type of an fd (file, socket...) given its number, from a kernel module. The closest thing I found by looking at the kernel sources is sockfd_lookup(), which works but is limited to telling me if the fd is a socket or not.
Is there something else I can look at?
