Indeed... > Hum, it's not a micro-optimization, but a bug fix. :) The good thing is that even if this bug would lead to a system crash, it would be still zero risk for everybody that isn't using KVM/GRU actively with mmu notifiers. The important thing is that this patch has zero risk to introduce regressions into the kernel, both when enabled and disabled, it's like a new driver. I'll shortly resend 1/12 and likely 12/12 for theoretical correctness. For now you can go ahead testing with this patch as it'll work fine despite of the bug (if it wasn't the case I would have noticed already ;). _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
