I am wondering whether it might be better to rearrange the bits in the thread information flags so that _TIF_WORK_MASK has a value less than 255 and the single instruction to perform an and operation can be maintained.
It would be better to rearrange TIF_NODIFY_RESUME down to 3. In fact, you might as well rearrange the ones currently occupying 3-7 up to 8 and leave a hole for _TIF_WORK_MASK expansion, and add a nice comment there at the same time. r~ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-alpha" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
