You're not missing anything, that's true, we will try and steal more RMIDs. We could perhaps put a limit on how many RMIDs we're willing to steal, but I think it should definitely be > 1 because RMIDs can stabilize out of order. It's worth pointing out that we only steal more RMIDs if the ones on the limbo list have been queued for the "minimum queue time" - it really is a last resort. -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
