The code seems to work right. What is left now is convincing Andrew Morton and Linus Torvalds to merge it. Getting good test results with reasonable workloads where the vanilla kernel does the wrong thing (eg. your workload) is probably the most important factor for Andrew and Linus in deciding whether or not to merge the code. -- All Rights Reversed -- 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/
