I would prefer a more general parameter. With this extension it is expected to have six new interfaces. I really don't want to repeat this if somebody comes up with yet another nice extension.
So, how about generalizing the parameter. Make is a 'flags' parameter, assign a number of bits to the unshare functionality and leave the rest available. Use a 'f' suffix, perhaps. Then in future more bits can be defined and, if necessary, additional parameters can be added depending on set flags. The userspace prototypes can then if absolutely necessary be extended with an ellipsis. Not nice but not as bad as adding more and more intefaces. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
