What do you want a microoptimization? Get real, you don't accept microoptimizations to networking code without numbers from the bigger picture. So that means running real tests on real applications like Oracle or RHDB. I think you'll find that the cross cpu case will be quite happy with a range flush. Heck, it's the kind of IPI that can even legally be asynchronous. Why don't you go do something useful like implement that instead of making me spend my time to correct other people's obvious mistakes? -ben -- Fish. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
