The breakdown of individual changes is as follows: (you can also use interdiff against the previously submitted patches, I state the links below): Patch 1: "Macros for 48-bit sequence number arithmetic" Previous: http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01158.html CHANGE: use the convention that macros are upper-case (was not previously) Patch 2: "Signed variant of dccp_delta_seqno" Previous: http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01159.html CHANGE: 1) Tossed out the unnecessary _add48/_sub48 macros (covered already) 2) Clarified the commit message (was not very clear before) Patch 3: "Make `before' relation unambiguous" Previous: http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01161.html CHANGE: Removed the hunk which affected `max48' (since not really necessary) => Please note: The TCP variant of this new definition has been withdrawn, on the grounds that old code depends on it. I still maintain that the new definition is useful and a better choice for DCCP. Patch 4: "Fix for follows48" Previous: http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01160.html CHANGE: No code change, merely the commit message has been reformatted. Patch 5: "Introduce macro for incrementing modulo-48" => This is a brand-new patch :), it has not been posted before. I decided to lump it in with the others since it belongs to the sequence number arithmetic (and relates to some email questions I sent). Gerrit
