The syslet patches are against v2.6.20 at the moment. (the x86 PDA changes will probably interfere with it on v2.6.21-rc1-ish kernels) Note that otherwise the syslet/threadlet patches are for x86 only at the moment (as i mentioned in the announcement), and the generic code itself contains some occasional x86-ishms as well. (None of the concepts are x86-specific though - multi-stack architectures should work just as well as RISC-ish CPUs.) if you create a threadlet based test-webserver, could you please do a comparable kevents implementation as well? I.e. same HTTP parser (or non-parser, as usually the case is with prototypes ;). Best would be something that one could trigger between threadlet and kevent mode, using the same binary :-) Ingo - 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/
