Subject: Re: [PATCH 7/8] i386: bitops: Kill needless usage of __asm__ __volatile__ II
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 18:22:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200707231822.11734.ak@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200707231818.00547.ak@suse.de>


BTW if you want to optimize inline asm code a bit -- find_first_bit / 
find_first_zero_bit / for_each_cpu could really benefit from a optimized version 
for cpumask_t sized bitmaps. That would  save a lot of cycles in some of the 
hotter paths of the kernel like the scheduler.
