Hi Gaël No big concern other than maybe that's best done in user space. Try it. If it doesn't work well, then send the kernel patch with a description why it doesn't work well in user-space. cheers, Joe -- 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/
