While i've been working with the linux kernel, i've noticed some definate performance bottlenecks in its implementation, and one of them is the incredible lack of lock granularity. While there has been some improvement in 2.3.40, i just ran a simple grep to find the calls to lock_kernel, and found 451. I was wondering if there are any groups out there that are addressing this problem specifically, or any general strategy for addressing the number of global kernel locks? (Especially since some of them seem to be used with relatively orthogonal things... ;-) Michael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
