Message-ID: <14954.31040.647996.752037@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)
Does anyone know why we have this code in include/linux/usbdevicefs.h?
Is it still needed?
/*
* sigh. rwsemaphores do not (yet) work from modules
*/
#define rw_semaphore semaphore
#define init_rwsem init_MUTEX
#define down_read down
#define down_write down
#define up_read up
#define up_write up
Paul.
