Because I could not test on other hardware than x86-64, I can not in good conscience recommend just switching from LZO to Snappy. I will send a version of patch 2 with only compile-time switching. It is indeed shorter. > thanks, > > greg k-h Thank you, -Z.T. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
