Subject: [PATCH] disable interrupt for non-LLSC atomic set
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 17:53:14 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C3E458A.B2AEC3CA@mvista.com> (raw)
The current MIPS_ATOMIC set code for no-LLSC case does a load and store with
interrupt open. This is potentially dangerous as an interrupt could happen
in-between and cause the value changed inside the interrupt handler.
Therefore the load/store is not atomic anymore.
Does the following patch look good to fix that?
