That's a good question, but it's not relevant to the __MOD_* change that I posted :) So you don't have a problem with the patch? In looking at the devio code some more, there are a few places that some kind of locking needs to be added to protect from sleep races. devio.c is still on my list of things that needs to be revisited (I thought I would let the inode.c rewrite settle down first.) thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
