If I am not wrong, softirq runs in process context (system call is also done through softirq, int 0x80 - this runs in process context), where as hardware irq and taslets run in no context, i mean no process context, so we should not use current pointer here.
Please cortrect me if I am wrong. regards, -Gaurav
