I'm getting way too many compilation errors from this, perhaps because of new rcu-list usages which weren't present in the old tree (ie: current Linus mainline) which you tested it against. The most practical way to prepare a patch like this is to either make it back-compatible (for a while at least) or to prepare and carefully test it against latest -mm. That way you'll pick up everyone's new code. -- 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/
