linux-toradex.git/include/net/af_unix.h, branch v2.6.16.21 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules [AF_UNIX]: Convert to use a spinlock instead of rwlock 2006-01-03T22:10:46+00:00 Benjamin LaHaise bcrl@kvack.org 2006-01-03T22:10:46+00:00 fd19f329a32bdc4eb07885e0b3889567cfe00aa7 From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> In af_unix, a rwlock is used to protect internal state. At least on my P4 with HT it is faster to use a spinlock due to the simpler memory barrier used to unlock. This patch raises bw_unix to ~690K/s. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In af_unix, a rwlock is used to protect internal state.  At least on my 
P4 with HT it is faster to use a spinlock due to the simpler memory 
barrier used to unlock.  This patch raises bw_unix to ~690K/s.

[AF_UNIX]: Use spinlock for unix_table_lock 2006-01-03T21:10:59+00:00 David S.

I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip! 
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about

git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
