I know, however for that the whole driver's messaging system would have to be redesigned. Joe (cc-ed) has offered to do it with the original iteration, however I believe consensus has been it will best be done as a separate follow-up change, while this small fix can be easily backported. > If there are concurrent writes from multiple cpu I believe > the writes still get separated. > (Something has to give...) NB this driver may not see a lot of SMP use as I reckon it's had some portability issues, and in any case the hardware requires port I/O which precludes its use with some of the most recent PCIe systems which do not support PCI I/O cycles anymore. And older systems were often UP. Not that the driver should not be kept in a clean style of course. Maciej
