Putting u64 instead of a long or some kind of that _is_ incompatible already, so why should we even use it? And, btw, what we are talking about? Is it about the whole kevent compared to kqueue in kernelspace, or just about what structure is being transferred between kernelspace and userspace? I'm sure, it was some kind of a joke to 'not rewrite *bsd from scratch and use kqueue in Linux kernel as is'. > Pavel > -- > (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek > (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html -- 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/
