Leave it alone, for now - I'm rebasing my series on top of your 1--7 and it will both makes ->ioctl() and ->compat_ioctl() called unlocked and switches ->compat_ioctl() to passing bdev instead of struct file (->unlocked_ioctl() simply dies). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
