Code external to the driver but which affects it can change. I totally disagree. I find it very useful when I get a debugging dump from the user and they have no idea where their kernel came from nor can figure out how to determine the kernel version. Sure it might sometimes not get updated for trivial patches that bypass the maintainer, but the maintainer is always going to bump it after non-trivial changes. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
