I don't think anyone but Andi actually liked this > approach when discussed earlier. readv/writev were done ages ago (since they are necessary for other reasons). pread/pwrite I can look at later - but I don't think they would be used to read/write events from evedv and we do *NOT* want to encourage people to use read/write on structures (especially ones that need compat_ munging. I know this is horrible but evdev needs fixing somehow - and I argued for the other alternative. And where were you a week ago when I asked if I should post this patch? And why didn't you guys corner Andi at OLS? :-) -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell [email protected] http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
