I like the basic concept. At some point I suspect we'll even need a per task dynamic data allocator, that would remove even more cruft. Could you change the block notifier calls first to not take their lock when there is nothing in the list (the common case)? It is weird that they don't already do this, but they should definitely here. I think the use of the blocking/atomic notifiers needs some comment. I think I understand why you did it -- exit atomic because sleeping in exit can be illegal and blocking for fork to allow GFP_KERNEL allocations -- but that should be documented somewhere. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
