Re: [PATCH] [0/6] kfifo fixes/improvements

[Andi Kleen]

First having to rely on another large patchkit makes 
it annoying to develop for this (it's the linux kernel
equivalent of DLL hell), but ok. I hope the interface
doesn't change again at least.

How about the current users for 2.6.33?  Unless they are not 
record oriented or always put in power-of-two records they will
need this patch, otherwise they risk desynchronization on fifo
full.

I think the patch is needed.

Also should drop the unused interfaces for 2.6.33 before anyone
else tries to use them and gets the same nasty surprise as me.
