I'm sure the additional parameter will be needed, and it might be pretty involved. I think the current notion of syslets needs, at the very least: - a userspace stack and IP to return to after going async - the completion context when completed async - a pointer to a return code when completed without blocking We'll see. I'm working on it. - z - 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/
