I have a problem with the read and poll. We had "read()" in the past so we have a possible issue here (different function but userspace apps could still use the old read)... Can you explain what the read and poll does and where you want to use it. Kind regards, Wim. -- 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/
