Well, that might be a somewhat fragile assumption in certain jurisdictions, did you know that this is not necessarily a clean room reimplementation of the urcu code anymore, so the chain of derivation might still be present legally, right? :-) [ Not that i can imagine Linus ever bothering you about barrier() or atomic_inc() ;-) ] Thanks, Ingo -- 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
