[Olsr-dev] [PATCH RFC v1 0/4] Smart Gateway dynamic bandwidth

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Given that it is highly unlikely that a file would change on a time scale less than 1ms, I think its safe to use the generic versions, at least on other platforms, no?  I think you need a special Linux kernel to get thread/process time slices with smaller than 1-2ms anyhow.
