The same is true for sys_fanotify_init. I thought it was general consensus that new syscalls should be wired up only on x86 and let arch maintainers wire them up on their architectures. Besides that a simple C source needs to be delivered so it can be easily tested on each architecture. Especially we want to avoid subtle sign extension bugs like we have them here. Probably gone unnoticed if there wouldn't be a compile bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
