Generic was the safer choice. Amittedly we never had bugreports for the xadd ones, but trust me that's not a good reason to assume that they must be correct. I'd be more confortable if somebody would provide a demonstration of their correctnes. Overall I gave up also because I felt that the small gain was by far not worth the risk. - 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/ | ||||||||||||
