I realize you only saw a small window of this patchset, but this feels like bike shedding about the main objective of the set... I'll add a bit more justification and context if/when I respin for the rest of the set. > Does it perchance make sense to fold this patch into the next patch that > actually makes use of it? It would if it were the only potential user. I don't want to bury a surprise in something bigger. Is there a preferred way to use such a macro to make the other three examples cleaner, or is that just useless churn and obfuscation? Would there be a concise way to express all CLONE_NEW* flags *except* user? - RGB -- Richard Guy Briggs Senior Software Engineer, Kernel Security, AMER ENG Base Operating Systems, Red Hat Remote, Ottawa, Canada Voice: +1.647.777.2635, Internal: (81) 32635, Alt: +1.613.693.0684x3545 -- 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/
