Last time it was brought up was when TAKE5 of the patchset was posted and I had planned to fix this in the TAKE6 - which didn't happen since there was no final descision on the mode flags. Anyhow, the x86_64 compat syscall has already been fixed in the ext4 patch queue. I will repost all the patches rebased on 2.6.22 (as they are in the ext4 patch queue), since these have already been dropped from -mm. > In addition there used to be a somewhat inofficial rule that new syscalls > have to come with a test program, so people can easily test if they wired > up the syscall correctly. Ok. Will work on a small testcase and post it soon. -- Regards, Amit Arora - 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/
