I wonder whether designing-in a millisecond granularity is the right thing to do. If in a few years the kernel is running tickless with high-res clock interrupt sources, that might look a bit lumpy.
I'd second that - when working on DCCP I've done a lot of the work in microseconds and it made quite a difference instead of milliseconds because of it's design. I haven't followed kevents in great detail but it sounds like something that could be useful for me with higher resolution timers than milliseconds. -- Ian McDonald Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4 Blog: http://imcdnzl.blogspot.com WAND Network Research Group Department of Computer Science University of Waikato New Zealand - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
