Subject: [patch 01/12] syslets: add async.h include file, kernel-side API definitions
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 22:41:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070228214103.GA2305@elte.hu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070228213938.GA945@elte.hu>
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
add include/linux/async.h which contains the kernel-side API
declarations.
it also provides NOP stubs for the !CONFIG_ASYNC_SUPPORT case.
