In this case, if you send a follow-on patch to _use_ this, I would be happy to apply both glob_match() and blacklist patches at that point.
.. Okay, I'll do that. Shortly.
2) once other kernel users appear, submit the "move to lib/string" patch as a distinct patch in the series of patches to driver XYZ adding a glob_match() caller. I'll happily add an Acked-by on your patch, and it can be submitted either direct to Linus/Andrew, or via the specific subsystem tree that is adding a new glob_match() caller.
.. James was nudging for me/somebody to do the same sort of thing for SCSI black/white lists. So that'll be the next user, I suppose. Except those'll have to go via his tree, which currently lacks the glob_match() function. So I suppose perhaps I'll just wait until after 2.6.36 opens for that.
