(needing to know the
number of cpus to optimize locking sounds like a trainwreck all of its own, needing it _that_ often instead of just once at startup is even worse).
libdb does it only once per startup, it's just that it gets restarted for every
child (it's a library, not a server) Really the kernel just needs to provide a faster way to get that. Requiring /proc/stat for that is just insane. I'll resend the sysconf patchkit I guess :-) -Andi -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
