Thanks! I'll try this...
...But, as a matter of fact I've thought about something similar (of
course much worse), and I was afraid of doing quite a lot of changes
at once, maybe again skip something like here. So, maybe one more
tiny RFC here...
I've tried this from the other side: to make alternative, new api of
gen_estimator functions, and then the rest of changes without hurry.
This looks not very nice, but IMHO should be safer (especially
considering my 'knowledge' of this code and current changes). There
is this not very nice additional parameter used e.g. in
ngen_new_estimator(), but it seems, after all changes, this should
be more visible how and where this could be optimized. (And, after
all, this new pointer shouldn't be used very often, so could sit a
bit further.)
Anyway, if you don't like this idea, let me know and I'll try yours.
It will only need more time for this.
This is done against 2.6.24-rc8-mm1 with this 3/3 cosmetic patch.
I'll send soon part 2: htb patch to use this.
Regards,
Jarek P.
