FWIW I use the paravirt spinlock ops for adding lock elision to the spinlocks.
This needs to be done at the top level (so the level you're removing) However I don't like the pv mechanism very much and would be fine with using an static key hook in the main path like I do for all the other lock types. It also uses interrupt ops patching, for that it would be still needed though. -Andi -- [email protected] -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
