I was thin= king > about similar thing as you suggest before... I don't think the patch for converting the multicast lists will hit .31, I take it? I'd like to get this patch into the .32 tree once it opens http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/patches/kernel/all/LATEST/NNN-net-core-mc-= sync-list.patch but I don't know how to handle that wrt. your patch, which will clearly conflict with mein. Will you be sending that soon? I guess we could stick this one into wireless-testing, and then take it out again once your patch hits the tree and offers me similar API for list_head based multicast lists? johannes --=-UE8ydtDeKZ87RgRr96Gg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJKOCY3AAoJEODzc/N7+QmadVgQAIii74dXzgsltM2khSGbpJq0 +HduX2BMg43HlyA09C7iZJJ+U5I25pfyx3+zjqdy2blj/I76eSdEJLQlSjjxN5pd 8rCTJJMOrVByk+wqs9vlZVKMc42wf0YYN1GupBZgEyI8ofYSnZBFtVzKn49CLlDc AQRb7UvAL0tIeM6Xm8wU7WPAP55isdn/0ah9yoCtPhC+cFcvR+xINGdHd0g+worx JAIykN/RNrVhnVV11FqqL0xw2rtsEFzBH/zYN/dEGD442wBvgYnjOJK63BBX97SD 5sHCxqhh5HdqXKvB+I/fZS/WZX0PLyc+Rm4AsV1tp92eYuz0tIDitXA173cuWo11 bDmmV7gcdKvXezHHbE7u2fy1ckJfOiHImbyeYEfEkaLujZ/k3yoVK8W58NrSVPfS FeeAkic3mkXcuiKpE6czRzWhFcmnkv6gbqC4F0vhXOxv8wxSnyhICeeW6WPWSxPt ImZ56vLlsPdYKNryWp+txlW9aknJfWLaor5c0G1cQxuqgTCb1pPwtQgwdRZCt1fY IFnkGqXQR9bYrGah1PnJnwr1GdLILylRGaLHUB1aM2T/nwngPs8nKNrZ+73e32Se zcwm9vWjaV4Nl9SABbpV1HkYBEwhe3TJpnrtEJKs4x5LNni4dqcg7szeAUxeq9Pk 4j+0/6bXwx01uqO/Q5nm =B1Ly -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-UE8ydtDeKZ87RgRr96Gg--
