Quoting Ian McDonald: | And I see why from the following patch now. Perhaps you could add | something to commit description to elude to this. Ah coming through to this one - I just answered the other email:) Yes, I have changed the commit message as follows: "Note: When the lookup is successful, the function automatically garbage-collects older entries (which become at that point useless/irrelevant). This is done outside the lock, to keep lock times to a minimum." Thanks for going through the patches, I am glad for the feedback. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
