Subject: [PATCH 1-fix/4] Fix extend notifier_call_chain to count nr_calls made.
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 13:59:57 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061115082957.GB7207@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061114101806.a14ef7b7.randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

Hi Andrew,

Please apply the following patch on top of 
extend-notifier_call_chain-to-count-nr_calls-made.patch.
This patch incorporates the Randy's suggestions.

thanks,
gautham.


This patch

* Corrects the type of nr_calls to int * from unsigned int * in
notifier_call_chain and it's subsequent callers.

* Converts comments of notifier_call_chain to be compliant with kernel-docs
standards.

*Reverts the changes made to the comments of other *_notifier_call_chain.

*Adds parameter names to a few functions prototypes in
include/linux/notifier.h .

Depends on patch: extend-notifier_call_chain-to-count-nr_calls-made.patch
