That makes things easier for me - there's never going to be any issue of whether I need to even _think_ about merging the piece of crap. In other words - if people want anything like that merged, you had better work on cleaning up the locking. Because I absolutely WILL NOT apply any of the f*ckign broken locking patches that I've seen, when I've personally told people how to fix the thing. In other words, it's all _your_ problem. Linus
