Subject: [PATCH 6/9] time: Reduce timekeeper read lock hold time
Date: Thu,  1 Mar 2012 23:12:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1330672368-32290-7-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1330672368-32290-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org>

Now that timekeeper updates are done with a shadow copy,
we can reduce the readlock hold time to only the update.
