[...] Here is the updated patch. Changes from the previous version include: - removed excessive inlining, extern functions go now to kernel/kfifo.c - added __kfifo_get, __kfifo_put etc which do no locking at all - kfifo_get/kfifo_put are now inline wrappers of the __ versions, which takes the spinlock to protect the fifo contents. - corrected whitespace damage :) > add(char c) > { > p->buf[p->head++ % p->number_of_bytes_at_buf] = c; > } I wonder if replacing the kfifo_get/kfifo_put implementations with something like: while (remaining--) add(*buffer++); instead of the memcpy() would be a gain in performance... I leaved the memcpy() implementation for now but since the FIFOS are generally used to buffer small structures (most of the time bytes or ints), the character based method may be more efficient.
