I tend to agree, consistency models were just a temporary idea that seems to likely become unnecessary given all the ideas on the unified solution that have been presented so far. (Well, with a small exception to this -- I still think we should be able to "fire and forget" for patches where it's guaranteed that no housekeeping is necessary -- my favorite example is again fixing out of bounds access in a certain syscall entry ... i.e. the "super-simple" consistency model). -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs -- 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/
