They are still used all over the place (e.g.

We should at least do an spatch to use kzalloc/krealloc/kfree across the
board if the wrappers are an issue.

NAKed

[Ignoring all the heat around the DC/DAL topic for a moment]

Pardon for reviving this old thread, yet I believe it's beneficial,
esp. for the less experienced open-source/kernel devs.

There is little-to-no merit of keeping dead code in upstream kernels.
That is, unless there's a series in discussion which uses the code ;-)

NACKs like this one are not cool, furthermore the tend to
alienate/push away people trying to help. With DC/DAL in mind, I think
you/others want all the help people can offer ;-)


Very good point. I think Dave set me straight pretty quickly there. :)

I'll make sure I'll take a much closer look at patches in the future before considering NAKs. My impression here was that this code was not dead, which was obviously a wrong one and a good indication that a lot of the DC codebase is still quite messy.

Thanks,
Harry

Regards,
Emil
