Right, my point is the source of the backport is in -mm for maybe as long as 6 weeks but not in Linus' tree. I s'pose it's chicken and egg for the ida code. I'd prefer to see your patch upstream, and Tejun's code becomes the ida code plus conversion of the simple counter to ida at some later point in time. - 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/
