It is "obviously correct", it saves seven calls to __global_cli() for each \n-terminated write to the console and it fixes the death-with-dual-deadlock problem which Mister Owens has been complaining about. James has just posted a big patch against this code, so you should coordinate this with him. One point: you should have included linux/spinlock.h rather than asm/spinlock.h. Obviously someone is already including this file, so you can simply remove the #include altogether. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
