I wasn't aware that you were considering the inclusion of Linus' entire email in the document. There exists a point where CodingStyle becomes so large that people choose not to read it in its entirety, so I was expecting only an addition that would explicit document the acceptable and unacceptable uses of 'volatile' in kernel code with perhaps a link to his email. - 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/
