Hello Andrew, thanks a lot for looking at this patch. > Please feed the diff through scripts/checkpatch.pl. It finds a lot of issues. I should have read the latest version of SubmittingPatches :-( I didn't expect you to pick up this patch so quickly, if I did I'd have cleaned it more thoroughly. I apologize. I expect this patch to go through a few more iterations in discussions with Vivek and other people on this list. > This is tricky code which you're adding.

It is quite impossible for readers > of this code to work out what the code is doing and why it is doing it > purely by reading the C statements. OK. I thought this might make the patch itself too long, that's why I put it into the header.
