Isn't it a bit late in 2.6.24 to add new functionality, especially when there isn't an in-tree user for it in 2.6.24? You are right, there are several users of this function currently under development but I'm pretty sure all of them are targeting 2.6.25 or greater. With that in mind, I think the prudent thing to is to wait and push this upstream for 2.6.25. -- paul moore linux security @ hp -- 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/
