Even if you have everything, every page, every log file, in the page cache, everything talking over the network wants to block. Will you create a thread every time tcp_sendmsg() hits the send queue limits? Add some logging to tcp_sendmsg() on a busy web server if you do not believe me :-) The idea is probably excellent for operations on real files, but it's going to stink badly for networking stuff. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
