The problem is still there in GIT as of this morning, which includes 8e92b6605da989 ... Comments on why bc71bec91f9875ef825d12104acf3bf4ca215fa4 seems to be causing this? I think it's just bad reports getting to userspace, rather than an actual 120K wakeups/second. (The report is of course not always 120K, but it's usually in that range.) - Dave -- 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/
