Subject: [PATCH 3/4] x86: Make interrupt stack switching atomic
Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2008 16:22:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1230301344-570-4-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1230301344-570-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com>
Instead of relying on pda.irqcount to tell us whether we're already in an
interrupt or not, examine the stack pointer directly. This makes the switch
atomic (since there's no window between incrementing the counter and
switching the stack where an NMI could see the new counter but the old stack),
and lets us get rid of a variable.
