It makes no difference to the kernel the work is the same in all cases because you cannot pre-empt while holding a lock. Therefore you have to do all the lock analysis anyway - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
