Date: Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:53:40 -0600 From: Christoph Lameter <cl@...ux.com> To: akpm@...ux-foundation.org Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org> Subject: [rfc: cpuops adv V1 0/8] Cmpxchg and xchg support for cpu ops This is a patchset on top of the thiscpuops upgrade patchset. It adds cmpxchg and xchg support and uses that to improve various kernel subsystem. For vm statistics we can avoid interrupt enable/disable which reduces the latencies of the vm counter updates to a fraction. The slub fastpaths and slowpaths can decrease their cycle count. In particular it is possible to improve the performance of the free slowpath. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
