It would slow down the groups case (unless we leave the specialized version in). Gcc doesn't inline a cmp function pointer, and a C preprocessor templatized version would be really ugly. A variant with of this routine with qsort like interface should be good enough for nfsacl and xfs though. Nevertheless, xfs and nfsacl have very similar requirements: nfsacl: at most 1024 elements; 8-byte elements (16 on 64-bit archs) xfs (from Nathan): at most 1024 elements (with 64K blocksize); 8-byte or larger elements Cheers. -- Andreas Gruenbacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SUSE Labs, SUSE LINUX PRODUCTS GMBH - 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/
