How do we sort this out? There are no objections, but request for additional interface. The only two things missed in patchset after his suggestions are new POSIX-like interface, which I personally consider as very unconvenient, but in any way it can be implemented as addon, and signal mask change, but Ulrich have not answered how does it differ from blocking in userspace and then calling appropriate syscall, I expect the difference is only in reduced number of syscalls. -- Evgeniy Polyakov - 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/
