But as this is an ultrabook, I doubt that is very high. Now I know this isn't going to be popular, but I'll suggest it anyway. What about only implementing the lockref locking when CPUs are greater than 7, 7 or less will still use the normal optimized spinlocks. -- Steve -- 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/
