You have done the right thing. If you want you can write conditional code, but that is at your discretion. http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/mutex-design.txt http://fixunix.com/kernel/550131-%5Bpatch%5D-rename-declare_mutex-define_semaphore.html I used it to fix a nonworking driver for a pctel winmodem https://porteus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=37 and got a big thanks by finding these changes so that the driver could compile. The conditional code was incorporated and some warnings were fixed(code was cleaned up). http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/welcome.html Regards, Antonio -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
