The character set used by the kernel is UTF-8. So we should check for people trying to add invalid stuff in other character sets. There's no way for them to _label_ legacy character sets as such; it's not like MIME email where we can use a different charset for every mail and expect people to cope. We need to be consistent. > > Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > Signed-off-by: asd > > Jekyll & Hyde? Oops. I prepended that to the output of 'git-diff' just to make checkpatch happy. And then forgot about it when I inserted the text file into my mailer. -- dwmw2 - 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/
