| |
Hi there.
Is there a way to protect a syscall against beeing interrupted by a bottom half? Other than cli/sti? I don´t need to be protected against hardware ints, just don't want to have net_bh and timer_bh and tqueue_bh messing around with my data structures for a short time. However, I generally dislike to mask irqs if it's not *really* needed.
What about just ++intr_count; ?
Gruss, Matthias
