I'm trying to teach people to just take my patches for granted as being untested. I think there is more shock value when I actually claim one of my patches is actually _tested_, so I guess I'll just emphasize that part in case it ever happens (and ok, it did happen for the cpu_mask thing). > And, yes, it helps. Ok, I'll commit it as obvious, ugly as it may be. And hope that Nick or some other god of iov_iter will think about trying to make these things more reliable and easier to use. Linus
