The only difference between cond_resched() and if (need_resched()) cond_resched() is one function call less and one might_sleep less. If the might_sleep or the function call are really problems (did you measure it? -- i doubt it somewhat) then it would be better to fix the generic code to either inline that or supply a __cond_resched() without might_sleep. A cheaper change might have been to just limit the number of buckets scanned. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
