Direct assignments are prone to races and therefore buggy. current->state = TASK_RUNNING can be replaced by __set_current_state() Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the exact definition of the problem.

Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The longest event is: "Discovered %08x (%s) behind %08x {hints %02X-%02X}\n", 12345678901 23 456789012 34567890 1 2 3 +8 +21 +8 +2 +2 +1 = 75 characters. There was a check to return -EOVERFLOW if the user gave us a "count" value that was less than 64. Raising it to 75 might break backwards compatability. Instead I removed the check and now it returns a truncated string if "count" is too low. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

It also corrects an error in Documentation/networking/l2tp.txt, where it referenced include/linux/if_ppp.h as the source of some definitions that are actually now defined in include/linux/if_pppol2tp.h.
