Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately this fact isn't made clear in the timer_create page and the exec page isn't very understandable for non-native speakers and non-lawyers. ;-) But after reading the parts you mentioned (expecially the [XSI] and [TMR] acronyms), I have to agree with you, the patch is wrong and so is the test case I mentioned. However, poking around in the kernel was fun anyway. ;-) > thanks, > -chris mfg Gernot - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
