Hi, The biggest issue is that this isn't a simple grep for and then substitute new strings for the old ones. If that's all it was, it would have been completed long ago. Some actual thought/design has to be done on several of these in order to do the locking correctly in all possible contexts, so if you are up for that, go ahead. I don't think that anyone else is doing this just now. --- ~Randy -- 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
