Subject: [PATCH] Introduce "used_vectors" bitmap which can be used to reserve vectors.
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:14:09 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1189746849.7262.29.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Hi Andi and everyone,
Wanted to get your thoughts on this patch. lguest now supports plan9
guests which use 0x40 for system calls. We want to let the guests use
that vector if available, but have no way to stop io_apic from
clobbering it. This does that, and also simplifies the current code a
little.
Thanks,
Rusty.
This simplifies the io_apic.c __assign_irq_vector() logic and removes
the explicit SYSCALL_VECTOR check, and also allows for vectors to be
reserved by other mechanisms (ie. lguest).
