But if we're to do this then we'd need to fix qsize and r_maxsize and various other things. And we'd need to convert msg_bytes to atomic_size_t, which would prove interesting ;) So this is at best a partial conversion and the code in there does need careful checking for the use of appropriate types. Does this patch get us partway toward the proper solution? Dunno - someone would need to sit down and work out what the best types are for all those related things. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
