why do we need another kernel cpuid reading method when sched_setaffinity exists and cpuid is available in ring3?
Because /dev/cpu/*/cpuid: a) predates sched_setaffinity by quite a few years b) is already widely used c) doesn't have issues with relative priorities (using sched_setaffinity can easily wait forever.) d) can be accessed by unprivileged processes given appropriate device info. -hpa -- 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/
