I thought the comparison on swapper_space would be faster as it was immediate vs register in CPU, instead of forcing a memory access. Otherwise I would have used the above. Now the test_bit is written in C and lockless so it's not likely to be very different considering the cacheline is hot in the CPU but it's still referencing memory instead register vs immediate comparison. _______________________________________________ stable mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/stable
