That's the second level cache, not the top level lookup which is what hits %99 of the time. The current FIBs have a bit heavier locking at least. Fine grain locking btrees is also not easy/nice. Also not necessary, only the top level cache really needs to be top performance. - 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/
