I wasn't aware that any of these existed, he didn't mention them in this patch series. Having now looked, all I've managed to find are a series of simple example apps that no longer work because of API changes. Also, if you've been paying attention, you'll note that I've never criticized the performance or quality of the underlying kevent implementation -- as best I can tell, aside from some lockdep complaints (which, afaik, are the result of lockdep's limitations rather than problems with kevent), the internals of kevent are excellent. -- Nicholas Miell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
