Message-ID: <CAOg9mSRoNDsVx_dHCRgdZUzbXfHV6KbQX9-Esp8mbxsPS5-a9A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I compiled and tested the new patches,
they seem to work more than great, unless
it is just my imagination that the kernel
module is much faster now. I'll measure it
with more than seat-of-the-pants to see
for sure. The patches are pushed to
the for-next branch.
My "gnarly test" can get the code to flow
into wait_for_cancellation_downcall, but
never would flow past the
"if (signal_pending(current)) {" block,
though that doesn't prove anything...
I had to look at the wiki page for "cargo culting" <g>...
When Becky was working on the cancellation
problem I alluded to earlier, we talked about and
suspected the spin_lock_irqsaves in
service_operation were not appropriate...
Thanks again Al...
-Mike
