Hi Tim,

No, this is exactly what is intended: don't use the TSC on NUMA, use jiffies instead.

The patch didn't hurt this.

Look at the comment just above those lines.

The patch doesn't uses jiffies indiscriminately: Only if we're on a NUMA system with !use_tsc.

Otherwise (on x86 SMP, for example) we use rdtsc...which seems The Right Thing(tm). Hece move the #endif a bit down.

Cheers

Felipe
