This function (o32_ret_from_sys_call) was responsible for calling do_softirq() after each system call. I'm curious, what is the current mechanism in mips 2.4.x that ensures that do_softirq is called after system call ? 10x. -- Alexander Sirotkin SW Engineer Texas Instruments Broadband Communications Israel (BCIL) Tel: +972-9-9706587 ________________________________________________________________________ "Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." -- Henry Spencer
