I have some compute intensive stuff to do inside an ioctl. But when I try to do that I see it affects the preemption of the kernel as the big kernel lock is held during the ioctl. Is there any good way to get rid of that?? I am planning to do an unlock while entering my ioctl and then lock it again before exiting. Is there any issues ?? -Nilanjan -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
