I apologize for ccing this to people not on the kernel list too, but i hope the more expert heads, the better ...
Can i do a
if (softirq_active(cpu) & softirq_mask(cpu)) { do_softirq(); }
at the end of smp_apic_timer_interrupt ? i mean
smp_apic_timer_interrupt () { irq_enter All it does normally. irq_exit if (softirq_active(cpu) & softirq_mask(cpu)) { do_softirq(); } }
My understanding is that smp_apic_timer_interrupt is very similar to do_IRQ but it knows which function to call already, and since the do_IRQ does this at the end of its execution, it should be ok here too. Am i ok in doing this ? basically the function smp_apic_timer_interrupt activates a tasklet, that i would like done here at this point, executed as a tasklet itself. If this is not ok, can someone suggest something for acheiving this ?
Thanks for any help!
