I did a quick review on the patchset and tested the patches 1~3, and 1~3 plus 4th, my patch plus 4th. The patch looks much complicated, and also goes writing slow path to steal locking. My patch looks quite straight and simple. This 1~3 patch has very very similar performance effect with mine. The highlight patch is the 4th, seems it can provide about ~2% aim7 performance gain(base on both of mine or patches 1~3) on my 4S NHM EX machine. -- Thanks Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
