The problem I see is that while fenced is guaranteed to make at most one fence_signalled query for a busy buffer per allocation, cached could potentially query the busy status of _all_ destroyed buffers for every allocation. The reason of this is that fenced orders the buffers in fence order and stops at the first busy one, only handing them to the lower layer (e.g. cached) once they are no longer busy. If kernel calls are used instead of userspace fencing, the problem probably gets worse. So IMHO it should be much more efficient to use fenced over cached (perhaps with slab between them too). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
