Hi, All
Seems this thread stops here. I don't see following patch and current upstream
doesn't include this change.
May I continue this? Of course, with author-ship from DaeRo Lee <skseofh@xxxxxxxxx>.
Mel,
Would you mind suggesting some cases that I could do to see the effects from
this change? Such as the overhead or throughput? Or what cases you expect?
