Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] lib/htree: Add locking interface to new Hash Tree

[JaeJoon Jung]

Hello, Matthew
Thank you so much for the advice above.
I've been analyzing your XArray for years now and it's helped me a lot.
Finding an index through bit shifting in XArray seems to very ingenious way.
If you have time, Could you talk a bit more on the dcache advice you gave above?
My guess is that it has to do with the memory cache associated with the MMU.
