Subject: [PATCH] ppp: push BKL down into the driver
Date: Thu, 22 May 2008 21:57:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080522215711.46fa07ac@core> (raw)
I've pushed it down as far as I dare at this point. Someone familiar with
the internal PPP semantics can probably push it further. Another step to
eliminating the old BKL ioctl usage.
