At the moment it can perform up to NR_QUEUE_LEVELS (16) list_empty() calls. Which I consider too much work for a function that is called frequently. > 2. What hardware is this on ? Irrelevant. > 3.

NR_QUEUE_LEVELS is a compile time constant currently set to 16, and unlikely to change. - Joe -- 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/
