Please gibe me a short answer. These have been in the -mm tree for a few major kernel releases now, right? And they are API safe, and only change the internals, right? If so, I see no objection to merging them now, especially as you will be around to fix up any problems that people have, right? :) thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I have a little pile of kfifo changes queud for 2.6.36. The "generic kfifo" patches are a large rotorooting of the whole facility, based on that work (I hope). There's also the abandoned kfifo-replace-the-old-non-generic-api-kfifo-fix-scatterlist-usage.patch which never got resolved with the originator. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I thought they changed the API. But generally to the better. The newer version seemed ok to me last time I looked. The older version it replaced had some issues. -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
