Re: [PATCH 2.6] watch64: generic variable monitoring system

In article [ref] (at Fri, 03 Sep 2004 13:19:24 -0400), "Josef 'Jeff' Sipek" [off-list ref] says:

The watch64 system allows the programmer to specify the approximate interval
at which he wants his variables checked. If he tries to specify shorter
interval than the minimum a default value of HZ/10 is used. To minimize
locking, RCU and seqlock are used. On 64-bit systems, all is optimized away.

I agree with the basic principle; it is very similar to mine.
However, it is too complicated isn't it?
I would do per-"table" registration (instead of per-variable one);
watch64_getval() seems very ugly to me...
