Did you check if those things depending on blocking notifiers can be changed? How about this, you introduce atomic notifiers without removing the blocking once. The blocking notifiers you mark as deprecated. This way you at least start discussion on the matter? I was not even sure blocking notifiers is the main issue for you. It was just an example. The point remains. You first see if you can make your stuff work with what is in the kernel already. -- heikki -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
