Each conversion is rather simple, but it's always a question of the nature of each tasklet usage which alternative is the best fit. FWIW, the current version is found in test/kill-tasklet branch of sound git tree git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
