From a5b9e2c1063046421ce01dcf5ddd7ec12567f3e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 17:01:16 -0800 Subject: kfifo: add kfifo_out_peek In some upcoming code it's useful to peek into a FIFO without permanentely removing data. This patch implements a new kfifo_out_peek() to do this.
