Arguably, one could say that this patch was always broken as you were assuming the size of an individual field was the same size as the whole structure, which I don't think is always the case, or at least it's not a safe thing to assume :) thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
