I guess using an array (with at compile time fixed size) of __u32 (or maybe __u64 on 64bit archs) would be a good solution to make it 'compatible' with the current interface (for the lower 32 bit) and allow to use an interface which can handle arbitrary sizes for the 'new' syscall interface best, Herbert > Andreas. > > -- > Andreas Schwab, SuSE Labs, schwab@suse.de > SuSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstra?e 5, 90409 N?rnberg, Germany > Key fingerprint = 58CA 54C7 6D53 942B 1756 01D3 44D5 214B 8276 4ED5 > "And now for something completely different." > _______________________________________________ > Vserver mailing list > Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver - 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/
