Subject: pci_pool_free from IRQ
Date: Tue, 8 May 2001 17:01:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010508170114.A29075@devserv.devel.redhat.com> (raw)
David,
Russel King complained that you might be calling pci_consistent_free
from an interrupt, which is unsafe on ARM. Why don't you remove this
part from pci_pool_free():
+ else if (!is_page_busy (pool->blocks_per_page, page->bitmap))
+ pool_free_page (pool, page);
In that case, fully free pages will stick about until the whole
pool is destroyed, which I think is not a big deal.
