The latter is the more serious of the two. I'll go about investigating that as the primary task here. Testing and a more verbose patch description are clearly very little work. General maintenance-relevant commentary: This patch arose from an observation of a lacuna in the API. There are no bugs or apps broken awaiting this as a fix, so it's not needed by 2.6.22 or otherwise urgently. My use for it is report generation in VM (and possibly other) testcases. The ack-in-concept is good enough for me to go about sweeping up the OS/standards compatibility, testing, and documentation issues in the near future prior to resubmission. -- wli - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
