> IRQ disabling is meant to be stronger than softint disabling. In that case, you'll need to have things like spin_lock_irqrestore() call local_bh_enable() in order to run the pending softirqs. Is that worth the trouble?
"trouble" is a weird word to use when the current behavior is just wrong. :-)
My point is that it doesn't matter what the fix is, running softints while hw IRQs are disabled must be fixed. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
