An honorable goal. Li Zefan - would you be interested in generating a patch that fails -EINVAL for inputs outside the range of [-1 ... N] for whatever small positive N the kernel recognizes? This seems like a minor enough difference that I for one don't have any problem with the current code, remapping all negative inputs to -1, going in, and then a follow-on patch changing that going in afterward. Of course, if you or Seto-san prefer the current behaviour, it would be easy to persuade me to agree. -- I won't rest till it's the best ... Programmer, Linux Scalability Paul Jackson 1.940.382.4214
