+Description: 'FCoE FCF' instances on the fcoe bus. A FCF is a Fibre Channel
+ Forwarder, which is a FCoE switch that can accept FCoE
+ (Ethernet) packets, unpack them, and forward the embedded
+ Fibre Channel frames into a FC fabric. It can also take
+ outbound FC frames and pack them in Ethernet packets to
+ be sent to their destination on the Ethernet segment.
+Attributes:
+
+ fabric_name: Identifies the fabric that the FCF services.
+
+ switch_name: Identifies the FCF.
+
+ priority: The switch's priority amongst other FCFs on the same
+ fabric.
+
+ selected: 1 indicates that the switch has been selected for use;
+ 0 indicates that the swich will not be used.
+
+ fc_map: The Fibre Channel MAP
+
+ vfid: The Virtual Fabric ID
+
+ mac: The FCF's MAC address
+
+ fka_peroid: The FIP Keep-Alive peroid
+
+ fabric_state: The internal kernel state
+ "Unknown" - Initialization value
+ "Disconnected" - No link to the FCF/fabric
+ "Connected" - Host is connected to the FCF
+ "Deleted" - FCF is being removed from the system
+
+ dev_loss_tmo: The device loss timeout peroid for this FCF.
+
+Notes: A device loss infrastructre similar to the FC Transport's
+ is present in fcoe_sysfs. It is nice to have so that a
+ link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count
+ used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a
+ "Disconnected" state until either the timer expires and the
+ FCF becomes "Deleted" or the FCF is rediscovered and becomes
+ "Connected."
+
+
+Users: The first user of this interface will be the fcoeadm application,
+ which is commonly packaged in the fcoe-utils package.

+3.7 /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children - Information about task children
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This file provides a fast way to retrieve first level children pids
+of a task pointed by <pid>/<tid> pair. The format is a space separated
+stream of pids.
+
+Note the "first level" here -- if a child has own children they will
+not be listed here, one needs to read /proc/<children-pid>/task/<tid>/children
+to obtain the descendants.
+
+Since this interface is intended to be fast and cheap it doesn't
+guarantee to provide precise results and some children might be
+skipped, especially if they've exited right after we printed their
+pids, so one need to either stop or freeze processes being inspected
+if precise results are needed.
