I agree with you that my imlementation of counter masks does not fit perfectly for this reason and also since it requires too much changes in generic code (for_each_generic_counter()) which Peter did not like either. So it is ok to me to replace your solution with the patch that implenents counter bitmasks. -Robert -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
