Which I > shall cheerfully not be looking at :) The virtio patches are somewhat delayed as we are ironing out the kernel/user interface with Rusty. Can the patch moving use_mm to mm/ be applied without exporting to modules for now? This will make it easier for virtio which will only have to patch in the EXPORT line. I also have a small patch optimizing atomic usage in use_mm (which I did for virtio) and it's easier to apply it if the code is in the new place. If ok, pls let me know and I'll post the patch without the EXPORT line. -- MST -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
