I'm not preventing anyone from working on improving this. Currently both the kernel and our user-space code polls way too much. I don't think it is reasonable to demand that no one should run any user-space code with periodic timers when we have not even fixed the kernel to not do this. -- Arve Hjønnevåg _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
