I did? Ok, I'll buy that, but please review this code for what it is, nice cleanups and a sanity-check for the ns support in sysfs. It saves 100+ lines of code, what's wrong with that? > The code is convoluted by your request. I really asked for the existing callback chain to look like that? I did want ns to be "minimal" in sysfs as I didn't think it was going to be a good idea, and hoped it would go away. Much like all other kernel maintainers did for cgroups. Turns out, we were wrong, and now Tejun is stepping up and fixing it. So, if I asked for this before, I apologize, I was wrong. Just like I was wrong about containers and cgroups, and I'll probably be wrong about something else in the future. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
