Nobody is proposing this. Although I have proposed that if the kernel knows which CPU can best service a request it might hint as much. But in general, you're free to decentralize as much as you want. But this does not mean it should not also be possible to use a number of threads in the same loop and the same kevent queue. That's the part which needs designing, the separate queues will always be possible. -- ➧ Ulrich Drepper ➧ Red Hat, Inc. ➧ 444 Castro St ➧ Mountain View, CA ❖ - 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/
