No. Now that I think about it, adding that extra macro is just wrong even if temporary. The real fix is equally simple, but in 2.6.18-rc it is intertwined with other more intrusive changes. Let me make a new separate patch that does things the right way, which is simply removing the list head while processing the list so two instances to not trip over each other. I would have done so earlier, but I've been insanely busy with multiple work related deadlines (lame excuse I know). I should post something tomorrow afternoon. -- Paul Fulghum Microgate Systems, Ltd. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
