I was recoding rather than implementing the macro, but the concept was the same. -- Ken. brownfld@irridia.com On Fri, Mar 01, 2002 at 11:18:12PM +0200, Bongani Hlope wrote: | I once tried to apply the O(1) scheduler on 2.4.18-pre9 + aa vm and I | made a similar change (the O(1) patch was rejected on buffer.c) and it | caused so corruption on my file system (ext2), but I'm still not sure | what cause it that change was my main concern.
