Provide _real_ forward progress on the code. Google has not contributed anything, and neither has anyone else, becides various tiny fixups, like the low-memory one that you just did. > Is there any chance that all android stuff would be merged one day ? That is up to the developers of the code. I would hope that it would, but it needs a _lot_ of work to get there. So for now, unless you are willing to maintain this code and work to get it merged into the main kernel tree (which will require changes to the kernel/userspace apis in a number of places, which will require buy-in by the owners of that userspace code), I'm going to have to drop the code. sorry, greg k-h
