I'm a bit wobbly about this patch - it adds additional single-cpu overhead to reduce multiple-cpu overhead and latency. - 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/
