XFS has statistics which are 'per cpu' but doesn't use per_cpu variables, __get_cpu_var(foo)++ is used (it doesn't have to be preempt safe since it's just stats and who cares if they are a bit wrong). - 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/
