Custom uuid helper function is needed only in rmgr/dbdcd.c and doesn't
need to be exported. It can also be made way simpler by using sscanf.

I guess the initial mail somehow didn't make it through your spam filter:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/1/70
It did, but I thought that people asked for it to be changed in the
thread afterwards, so I was expecting an updated version from you.

Care to fix things up and resend it?

thanks,

Sure, the change I was asked for is trivial, but I didn't get the reason why it is needed. Neither there is a reply to my follow-up comment [0]. Sorry, I am pretty much new on LKML and could miss things that are supposed to be clear from the start, but my impression is that when someone says "it is better", he/she should explain why it is better or at least what is wrong with the patch he/she wants to be changed.

However, I don't want to enter some arguing loop, so if you think I should change the code as per Joe's comment, just confirm it and I'll do it.

Thanks,
Ivo
