Interface was the same - logic behind it was differnet, the only thing required was to add consumer's index - that is all, no need to change a lot of declarations, userspace and so on - just use existing interface and extend its functionality. But it does not matter anymore, later this week I will collect all proposed changes and implement (hopefully) last release, which will close most of the questions regarding userspace interfaces (except signal mask, it is in fluent state), so we could concentrate on internals and/or new kernel users. > -- > ➧ Ulrich Drepper ➧ Red Hat, Inc. ➧ 444 Castro St ➧ Mountain View, > CA ❖ -- 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/
