I'm not sure if Android (or all targetted) users use or care about this configuration (CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=n), personally I think for such configuration we could just fall back to the workqueue approach all the time. Anyway, such optimization really comes from real workloads / experience, users don't live well without such mitigation. Thanks, Gao Xiang > > Thanx, Paul
