Subject: Re: Word-at-a-time dcache name accesses (was Re: .. anybody know
of any filesystems that depend on the exact VFS 'namehash'
implementation?)
Stupid question. Your patch requires unaligned accesses to not have a
heavy penalty, right? Wasn't it the case that some generations of x86
had pretty large penalties for aligned accesses? Is that something we
need to worry about?
