I think we've been very clear before and Rik's description here puts it all nicely in one place. If you're worried about semantics you can rest assured, it is all sound. If this is what is holding up the patch then add it to your collection. Only if you have technical objections should you hold it off. The patch makes sense (and has been validated by being implemented in the same way on other OSes) and it is really needed. - 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/
