Per bucket locking is typically a bad idea because you get far too many locks and you increase cache footprint with all of them. It's typically better to use a second much smaller hash table that only has locks (by just shifting the hash value down some more) Just need to be careful to avoid too much false sharing. -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
