Well I can get you a bit of testing and attention, but I'm afraid my knowledge of the IPC code is negligible.
So to be able to commend this change to Linus I'd have to rely on assurances from people who _do_ understand IPC (Hugh?) and on lots of testing.
So yes, I'll include it, and would solicit success reports from people who are actually exercising that code path, thanks.

DBT1 is really interesting, and I'm glad the OSDL team have put it together. If people would only stop sending me patches I'd be using it ;)
Could someone please help explain the results? Comparing, say, http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt1prfrns/results/mingming/run.2cpu.42-mm2.r5/index.html and http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt1prfrns/results/mingming/run.18.r5/index.html
It would appear that 2.5 completely smoked 2.4 on response time, yet the overall bogotransactions/sec is significantly lower. What should we conclude from this?
Also I see:
14.7 minute duration and Time for DBT run 19:36
What is the 14.7 minutes referring to?
Also:
2.5: Time for key creation 1:27 2.4: Time for key creation 14:24 versus: 2.5: Time for table creation 16:48 2.4: Time for table creation 8:58
So it's all rather confusing. Masses of numbers usually _are_ confusing. What really adds tons of value to such an exercise is for the person who ran the test to write up some conclusions. To tell the developers what went well, what went poorly, what areas to focus on, etc. To use your own judgement to tell us what to zoom in on.
Is that something which could be added? - 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/
