Subject: Re: [PATCH/RFC] net: Add __napi_sycnhronize() to sync with napi poll
Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:50:12 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1192589412.11899.127.camel@pasglop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071016115318.0fc36af3@freepuppy.rosehill>

napi: use non-interruptible sleep in napi_disable

The current napi_disable() uses msleep_interruptible() but doesn't
(and can't) exit in case there's a signal, thus ending up doing a
hot spin without a cpu_relax. Use uninterruptible sleep instead.
