ChangeLog:
- Remove unnecessary catch in cn_fork_callback().
- Use reverse dependencies in Kconfig. By doing this, if fork
connector is enabled, the connector will be automatically
selected as built-in. It's the what we need.
- Move the cn_fork_enable and cb_fork_id declarations inside
CONFIG_FORK_CONNECTOR.
- Use DECLARE_PER_CPU in connector.h and DEFINE_PER_CPU in fork.c
to avoid fork_counts to be defined in each compilation unit which
includes include/linux/connector.h
- Add a description of the fork connector in the beginning of the
cn_fork.c
This patch applies to 2.6.12-rc1-mm4
Many thanks to Andrew for the great help,
Best regards,
Guillaume

+ *
+ * It uses the userspace <-> kernelspace connector that works on top of
+ * the netlink protocol. The fork connector is enabled or disabled by
+ * sending a message to the connector. The unique sequence number of
+ * messages can be used to check if a message is lost.
