I think we are still in a learning process about what exactly causes a timer to be converted to deferrable or not. It may sound crazy but flipping the switch on %99 of our kernel timers is not the nicest way to figure it out :-) Therefore it might still make sense to keep the deferrable marker for now, so that we can gradually convert the tree checking easy case carefully. This way the breakage is containted very well. Then once we have almost all of the timers verified, we can reverse the meaning and mark the timers that remain as non-deferrable and kill the deferrable marker. -- 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
