We could do that I guess if it's a really big performance gain. I do think it is quite common to see this WQ overflow check trigger, even for kernel code, and so we would have to be sure the performance gain is worth making these bugs much harder to find and fix. - R. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
