OK, I think I see the problem now! But is soundcore the only place where 'errno' is used? Does this problem not occur if any task modifies the errno value and an other one depends on its previous value? I think this could happen even if no modules are used... - 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/
