Um, please show me a USB function that was created before there was a real need for it? In fact, show me a USB function that is present in the existing code base that no one is using, and I will gladly rip it out right now. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
