Sorry, I did not see you had posted a patch. Basically, I don't care what solution we choose. Using TAILQ looks like being not the solution. So, here are the known options: 1- Michal pointed to tools/firewire/list.h, but those are different from the CIRCLEQ/TAILQ, and switching is not easy (at least for me after a quick glance); 1b- note also that drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/queue.h has all of both the CIRCLEQ and TAILQ macros we're interested in, too, and it looks like it can be used out of the kernel (eg. for userland); 2- carry the parts of CIRCLEQ (or TAILQ) that we need, and use them if the system's sys/queue.h does not provide them, as Tetsuo proposed; 3- carry the parts of CIRCLEQ (or TAILQ) that we need, and do not rely on the system's sys/queue.h to provide them at all. Michal, what do you think would be the best route to go, to: 1- get a fix in 3.7 ? 2- if the fix for 3.7 is just a workaround, a proper fix for 3.8 ? Regards, Yann E.
