I'm very glad to get your advice to fix this issue. As a kernelnewbies, I have sent two patches about code cleaning to you, and they are merged to the kernel tree. I realy interested to fix this bug to improve my understanding of the kerenl. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
