No ? No. The initial part (converting all page fault methods to vm_fault_t) is done. What remains undone (looking at akpm's tree) is changing the typedef of vm_fault_t from int to unsigned int. That will prevent new page fault handlers with the wrong type from being added. I don't necessarily want to get rid of vm_insert_page(). Maybe it will make sense to do that, and maybe not. What I do want to see is thought, and not "Matthew told me to do it", when I didn't. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
