Also, for a single patch, it's silly to send two mails, the first being a cover which has a little more information in it about the patch than the patch itself. You need to explain _why_ you're making this change. What I want to see is that you've thought about the implications of this - particularly that you know that strongly ordered memory does *not* imply any ordering with any other memory types. In other words, I want to know that this change is not a bodge but there's a real reason behind it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
