From: Stefani Seibold on 19 Feb 2010 04:50 Hi, is there a change to get the new generic kfifo API merged into the linux-next, mm- or the upcoming 2.6.34 tree? All features and complains are implemented. I got a lot of commits and positve feedback but no ack's. So the question is should i continue to work? If i get an okay for the merge, the next steps will be: - add a short HOWTO file into the Documentation directory - replace all kfifo_out_locked() into kfifo_out_spinlocked() and replace all kfifo_in_locked() into kfifo_in_spinlocked() - modify the drivers to use the type based FIFO - maybe port drivers which use its own fifo implementation to the new kfifo API Stefani ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
