As I mentioned last time, I think this patch would be better if it came with follow-on patches which convert at least some of those callsites. As it stands, this function has no callers and hence it won't get tested. Plus those follow-on patches will demonstrate the value of this patch and will provide example usages. -- 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/
