Subject: [PATCH] mv64x60_wdt __user annotations and cleanups
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 00:42:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050928234227.GN7992@ftp.linux.org.uk> (raw)

	* use nonseekable_open() instead of messing with 
	if (*ppos != file->f_pos)
		return -EISPIPE
in ->write() (->read is NULL).
	* trivial __user annotations
