This is the topic of ongoing research, and I'm not ready to send the patch setting a new default until I've heard back from a few more HW people. Every system I've tested appears to work with delay 0. Were I to guess, I'd venture that every system that runs an X86_64 kernel might count as "modern" -- even the 2005 AMD Turion laptop I've got in the bone pile. > Also, is there any public document where the no-delay is specified for > 'modern hardware'? Unfortunately only the converse is true. There is an ancient document specifying that the delay may be necessary. cheers, -Len -- 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/
