SH> * Network changes gets discussed on netdev@xxxxxxxxxxx SH> * 64 bit values are not atomic on 32 bit architectures Agree. SH> * wider values in /proc output risks breaking apps like ifconfig and netstat This is probably not a problem here, ifconfig etc have been working fine with non-wrapping numbers on sparc64 and other 64-bit machines. -- Meelis Roos |
