[...] While we are at introducing and moving around code, i've done a big cleanup of all code touched/introduced by your patchset. The gtod-B11-cleanup.tar.gz file containing the cleanup patch-series can be found at: http://redhat.com/~mingo/gtod-patches/ (i'll send the patches individually as well, as replies to your mails). one side-effect of the cleanups is that the core Linux NTP code has now become quite readable, for the first time in history ;-) the cleanups are also included in the 2.6.14-rt18 tree, and i've tested them on a UP and on an SMP box. The cleanups are 99% coding style related, but while reviewing the code i've also inserted a few TODO entries: + /* TODO: bogus limit of 4 CPUs? --mingo */ +/* TODO: why a seqlock? It's only write-locked, so should be a spinlock. */ + /* TODO: is 2*time_constant correct? --mingo */ + * TODO: shouldnt we write-lock xtime_lock below, and then + * TODO: shouldnt txc->time be filled in here, within ntp_lock and Ingo - 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/ | ||||||||||||
