and i may have to resort to this ingenuity again. it looks like there is a move to remove the kernel syscalls. secondarily, the kernel syscall interface might be broken on some platforms. >Whilst I could do that, I'm not sure it'd help you as you'd need to use the >RCU interface to access keyrings directly. the only rcu interface i need to use is rcu_assign_pointer() when i install the session key. but an smp_wb() should be sufficient. other uses of rcu wont be necessary since the pag keys only use the .value stub where again i could just use smp_wb(). _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
