And having gotten same, are you going to code up what appears to be a
solution, based on this feedback?
The feedback was helpful in verifying whether there are any arguments against my approach. The real proof is in the pudding.
I'm running a kernel with these changes, as we speak. Overall system throughput is about up 20%. With 'system throughput' I mean measured performance of a rather large (experimental) system. The patch isn't even 24h old... Also the application latency has improved.
