But if the ordering is required at all, why is it ok to create cache 2 after cache 6 instead of after cache 7? IOW if we can safely do cache 2 after cache 6, why can't we just do both cache 1 and cache 2 after the loop? -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
