Does that not qualify? No. We been through this example (filesystem layouts) a few times. It's of course not a kernel interface, and sharing it actually is harmfull, because it means you can't change the structure layout for your filesystem definition anymore, which unlike an actual ondisk change happens very frequently, e.g. when introducing new unions keyed off a feature flag, or similar things. So please ship a copy with your userspace tools package. - 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/
