However, what you are doing is effectively a waste of time for you and for the maintainers as well, and hence cannot be called help. You are writing emails that make absolutely no sense at all. If you want to help us out, please consider learning three things: * The language that the kernel is written in: C * The language that most kernel developers understand: English * The environment the kernel is (in most cases) written in: UNIX If you had known these, then: * ... you would have already known that FIXMEs exist for a reason which is not at all simple. * ... you would have understood that fixing FIXMEs without ANY reasoning and asking about it is completely useless and wastes precious maintainer time. * ... you could have used grep for finding out PAGE_SHIFT and not need to ask for it. Nick. Look, it is good that you are enthusiastic. However, this kind of 'work' gives you an undesirable reputation, which is {IF FROM:xerofoify@* THEN TRASH}... If you really want to help out, I suggest you to find yourself a piece of hardware from the store and try to write a driver for it. That way, you will learn how it all works, and if you are intelligent enough then you might get a "Kernel Job - Payed" like you asked us for them in November. Until then, please stop trying for FIXMEs. They will not get you a commit in the kernel 99% of the time.
