Hi all,
Michael Elizabeth Chastain suggested a change to my patch to make the error
message a bit more detailed, and I've implemented it.
As it is only a handful of lines and seems fairly fool-proof might I suggest
its inclusion? I reckon anything that helps reduce the number of false bug
reports & 'RTFM' responses on linux-kernel might be helpful.. it helps the
user as well, of course :) Anyone have any comments? Alan? Linus?
Cheers,
Steve
PS The lag time on linux-kernel-digest seems quite long - is it much better
on the main list?
