I figured but still wanted to add you to the Cc.

That's good to hear.

That's even better.

Do you also have any threaded tests? That is, something like a java
benchmark that kicks off lots of threads. That's where the performance
should show up the most. Clark's whack_mmap_sem test is specific to
this, and has shown an 10x increase in performance with my patch. But
that's a micro benchmark. A better test would be a real java
application.

Thanks,
