[RFC 0/2] Unified UUID/GUID definition

From: Huang Ying
Date: Wed Oct 14 2009 - 02:31:10 EST


Hi, All,

This patchset is an attempt to provide a unified UUID/GUID definition to
replace various UUID/GUID definitions in current kernel. This will make
kernel source more readable and unify some duplicated efforts.

This is a RFC to talk about the general UUID/GUID definition design.
Only

UUID/GUID is used by many modules/subsystems in kernel. But this
patchset only replace one of them to use the new definition as an
example. After consensus is reached, we can replace other UUID/GUID
usage too.

This patchset is based on Joe's UUID printk support patchset:

[PATCH 0/9] Add vsprintf extension %pU to print UUID/GUIDs and use it

Any comment is welcome.

Best Regards,
Huang Ying
