This is nice, as it also reduces the size of struct kernel_param, so each parameter uses less footprint (who cares, though?) :) But, just wondering whether we still need to export get/set functions. They can be called from ops now, so if any, it can be defined even as an inlinefunction or a macro. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
