Unfortunately this would be a much bigger project than the cleanup I did on the kernel splice code, and I don't really have the time to do it :( Miklos -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
