I didn't mean to imply that they're mutually exclusive, and after doing some testing, I concluded that it (or something like it) is definitely still needed. The version that's in mm2 _is_ buggy however, so ripping it back out wouldn't hurt my delicate little feelings one bit. In fact, it would give me some more time to instrument and test integration with your changes. (Which I think are good btw because they remove what I considered to be warts; the pipe and uninterruptible sleep barriers. Um... try irman2 now... pure evilness) -Mike - 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/
