I would prefer it: We simply don't know if a wait-for-zero list, only for single sop operations, is a step in the right direction. Postgres uses single sop operations with just +-1 on one semaphore. You wrote that your SAP workload also uses +-1. According to google codesearch, apache, mozilla, mpich all use +-1. Thus: Who uses single sop, wait for zero? I'm just afraid that we optimize for the wrong case. -- Manfred -- 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/
