This change and it's commit log message look totally arbitrary and opaque, even to people who have been working with this code and it's interfaces for decades. That should tell you something. You have to let us know exactly why you are making a change, and what real _actual_ bug it fixes, when you want us to consider your changes seriously. I'm not applying this, sorry. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
