I don't know what interface would be best. I'm not pushing this big pile of junk either. Unless you find a suitable interface that you include in the patchkit we're not gonna add it, even after it's been rewritten to be sane. So if you care to get this in find a suitable interface. why the hell do you guys expect to get a huge piele of flaky code integrate that slows down pagecaches and adds thousands of lines of undebuggable and untestable code without submitting something that actually calls it. I'd love to see the crack that's handed out at your group. - 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/
