I don’t believe that r269223 requires a temporal ordering of the dbufs in the AVL, just unique entries. So why use an expensive operation like getting high resolution time? Can’t we just use a PCPU counter and tag the dbufs with "CPU# << 48 | PCPU_counter”? — Justin _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
