Ok that would be important. I also think that the approach may be used in kernel to reduce the overhead of CONFIG_PREEMPT and also to implement fast versions of this_cpu_ops for non x86 architectures and maybe even optimize the x86 variants if interrupts also can detect critical sections and restart at defined points. -- 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/
