Thanks. Good advice. Nobody wants a function that is not used anyway. I'll send one in the next patch I send upstream within a driver and propose it for lib/. If it is not liked I'll still use it for the driver thus no harm done. I'll name it ptrlen since I guess someday somebody might want to grep for this name :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecar...@nl.linux.org Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
