I also like to keep my error path and my success path as separate as possible. Handle the errors right away and move them out of the success path. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
