My naive notions about cache-line optimizations, I'd think that one could start the replay-window check based upon the lower-32-bits, while waiting for the upper-32-bits to load, in order to validate the upper-32-bits are as expected. For that 1/2^32 situation where the upper-bits roll, then one takes a !unlikely(). I guess the bigger proceedural question is how do we get early feedback from hardware designers. -- Michael Richardson <[email protected]>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =- *I*LIKE*TRAINS*
