The cmpxchg is already a bit painful if you have a lot of cpus (and a bunch of users that call gettimeofday() incessantly). A spinlock would most likely be even worse (wouldn't it?). -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
