Hmm, you may be convincing me ;-) As it just allocates the "max" anyway, this feature will actually help. Don't worry about the detection of interrupt, it already does that with the discard event. It wouldn't be that hard to extend that into a reduction too. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
