Fair enough, I indeed missed that property. And yes that makes sense. It might be a tad tricky to implement as things currently stand, because AFAICR Frederic's stuff re-enables the tick on kernel entry (syscall) things like signal delivery or a blocking wait for it might be 'fun'. But I'll have to defer to Frederic, its been too long since I've seen his patches to remember most details. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
