Subject: [patch] Cache align futex hash buckets
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 15:32:42 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060220233242.GC3594@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Following change places each element of the futex_queues hashtable on a 
different cacheline.  Spinlocks of adjacent hash buckets lie on the same 
cacheline otherwise.
