I certainly prefer that method of API change :-) (see the current "keys: Replace uid/gid/perm permissions checking with an ACL" in linux-next and the (currently) three merge fixup patches I am carrying. Its not bad when people provide the fixes, but I am no expert in most areas of the kernel ...) -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
