Aritsteu after looking at both my version and yours I am going with
mine. While my code is a little wordier I have half the number of
comparisons your code does, and I took the time to kill the variable
introducing a function to test for range collisions makes unnecessary.
On Andrews size metric my version seems noticably smaller as well.
size $PWD-build/kernel/user_namespace.o
text data bss dec hex filename
4376 144 0 4520 11a8
/home/eric/projects/linux/linux-userns-devel-build/kernel/user_namespace.o
Short of something unexpected I plan to push all my code to linux-next
sometime tomorrow.
Eric
