The owner * attribute is still left for other arches. */ As it turns out, the *owner field is (again?) initialized in several modules, suggesting that such initialization may be creeping back into the code. This patch set removes the above comment, the *owner field, and each instance in the code where it was found to be initialized. Compiled with x86 allmodconfig as well as with all alpha, arm, mips, powerpc, and sparc defconfig builds. -- 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/
