From: Ralph Doncaster <ralph@istop.com> Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 21:17:28 -0400 (EDT) Aren't the read_lock_irqsave and restore expensive? If x86 has an inefficient implementation, well... :-) This can be done without locks, nobody has done the x86 implementation of that that's all. I think the x86_64 folks did a lockless version, I know I did for sparc64 :) - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
