    SubjectRe: [PATCH RFC V2 3/5] jump_label: if a key has already been initialized, don't nop it out
    Hi,

    (Sorry for the late reply - I was away for a few days).

    The early enable is really nice - it means there are not restrictions on
    when jump_label_inc()/dec() can be called which is nice.

    comments below.

    The only reason I called this at boot-time was that the 'ideal' x86
    no-op isn't known until boot time. Thus, in the enabled case we could
    skip the the arch_jump_label_transform() call. ie:

    if (!enabled)
    arch_jump_label_transform(iter, JUMP_LABEL_DISABLE);

    hmmm...this is used on module load in smp - so this would introduce a number of
    calls to stop_machine() where we didn't have them before. Yes, module
    load is a very slow path to begin with, but I think its at least worth
    pointing out...

    thanks,

    -Jason
