And this as kerneldoc at initdev_probe_done(). What happens if the calls or the call arguments aren't balanced, e.g. due to a mistake in an error path? The kernel will hang? (BTW, much, though possibly not all, of the "History" section of your changelog should be below the --- delimiter, and the "v6" in the subject should be within the [PATCH ...] prefix.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--= -==- --==- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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/
