I have a concern; you seem to be patching potentially "live" code.... there are basically two options 1) you run the risk of triple faulting (patching an instruction while some other core/cpu may be decoding it may cause a triple fault) 2) you do an IPI to all other cpus and prevent them from executing any code except a small loop during the patching... this is expensive. To be honest, neither sound very attractive to me ;( - 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/
