Subject: i8259.c spinlocks unnecessary
Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 15:29:29 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020628152929.K3851@host110.fsmlabs.com> (raw)


I looked through the 8259 code and I believe the spinlocks there are
unnecessary.  The code is covered by a spinlock when called from irq.c.

I instrumented the code and after running quite some time my code review
matches what I've seen.

Anyone comment?  Does someone want to remove them?
