   @xiaoxiang781216 I compared the functions and in fact they are not implemented exactly like the Linux kernel, but seams inspired by the Linux kernel implementation. Also the fact that you guys used the same name of the files and same functions' name contribute to this vision. It is important that the people who implements the code never had looked the source code of Linux, otherwise he could bring instinctively things from there. I strongly suggest to change the functions name and the file name to avoid Linux litigation in the future, same thing that happened about Linux and Unix in the past and IBM had the pay a lot to finally settle things down.
