Oops, I'm sorry, I haven't seen the patch and the answers to it. According to the comments by Andrew a simplification of this code section would be nice. I think it should be possible to do this in a way that the initialize-to-zero won't be needed anymore. Prabhakar Lad, are you working on this already? If not I'll take a look at it. regards, richard -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
