Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/5] for-linux/sndif: add explicit back and front synchronization

[Oleksandr Andrushchenko <andr2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, Konrad, Takashi!

Could you please review the *Linux Kernel* version of the changes?
As I said in the cover letter below there is no functional changes
comparing to the corresponding Xen version, but spaces to tabs.
Still, formally, I have to drop the R-b tags and request for the new review.

Thank you,
Oleksandr

P.S. Minus GlobalLogic e-mails which bounce
