Subject: [patch] s390: do not use _local_bh_enable()
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 07:14:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070223061459.GA10106@elte.hu> (raw)


Heiko, what do you think about the patch below - is there perhaps some 
deeper reason to s390's _local_bh_enable() use that i missed?

Subject: [patch] s390: do not use _local_bh_enable()
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

_local_bh_enable() enables bhs without invoke_softirqs(), and can thus 
cause missed softirq processing. The s390 code seems to have two such 
uses of _local_bh_enable().

in cio.c the bh disable/enable pair is superfluous, because 
irq_enter()/exit() disables softirqs anyway.
