I tagged my previous rows as "buggy", I left your try#3 at the start of each
version and I added at the end the new numbers with the -9 fixed revision of my
rwsem at the end. new graph is attached.
So nothing interesting is changed in the numbers as far I can tell after the
fixes and improvement of the fast path using "a" instead of "+a".
Unless you can provide a testcase that fails with my smarter and more compact
algorithm I suggest to Linus to merge my code into pre7.
Against pre6:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.4/2.4.4pre6/rwsem-9
against David's try2:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.4/2.4.4pre6/rwsem-9-against-dh-try2
against David's try3:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.4/2.4.4pre6/rwsem-9-against-dh-try3
I will keep doing regression testing in the next hours of course.
