I didn't actually write this patch myself. This did it instead: s/anon_vma_lock/anon_vma_sem/ s/i_mmap_lock/i_mmap_sem/ s/locks/sems/ s/spinlock_t/struct rw_semaphore/ so it didn't look a big deal to redo it indefinitely. The right patch ordering isn't necessarily the one that reduces the total number of lines in the patchsets. The mmu-notifier-core is already converged and can go in. The rest isn't converged at all... nearly nobody commented on the other part (the few comments so far were negative), so there's no good reason to delay indefinitely what is already converged, given it's already feature complete for certain users of the code. My patch ordering looks more natural to me. What is finished goes in, the rest is orthogonal anyway. _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
