OK, nobody replied, I will spam you again. Modulo some cosmetic changes
this is the same patch, now with the changelog and I tried to test it.
Eric, Al, Linus, I will appreciate any comment. I still disagree with
the recent c82199061009 "task_work: remove fifo ordering guarantee".
I am not very sure about 2/3, so it comes as a separate change.
I used this trivial test-case
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <assert.h>
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
int nfork = atoi(argv[1]);
int nopen = atoi(argv[2]);
while (nfork--) {
if (fork()) {
wait(NULL);
continue;
}
while (nopen--)
assert(open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY) >= 0);
break;
}
return 0;
}
to test the performance, and I see the same numbers with or without this
series. Well, actually the numbers look a little bit better when I do
"time ./o 10 1000000", but most probably this is just a noise.
Please review.
Oleg.
