Linus? I think it's a cleanup, and yes, I'll take it. Not only does it shrink the workqueue thing, I think it's a good thing to make the timer delay option explicit, since it's really a totally separate feature. I obviously didn't see how nasty the conflicts were, and I would want it to be not too painful for Andrew. So I could either take it early after 2.6.19 _or_ after Andrew has merged the bulk of his stuff, depending on which way is easier. I'd actually prefer to take it before -rc1, because I think the previous time we did something after -rc1 was a failure (the whole irq argument handling thing). It just exposed too many problems too late in the dev cycle. I'd rather have the problems be exposed by the time -rc1 rolls out, and keep the whole "we've done all major nasty ops by -rc1" thing) Linus - 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/
