SubjectRe: [patch 0/3] [patch 0/3] genirq: Suppress resend of level interrupts
2007/8/12, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>:
> The delayed irq disable functionality introduced a bug due to

Works fine for me (tested on 2.6.22.1). I uploaded 6 GB of data and my
network card didn't time out. (it usually did after 1-100 MB)
Is this the final version?
