Subject: [PATCH 3/7] irq: Optimize call to softirq on hardirq exit
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:18:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380125886-10341-4-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1380125886-10341-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
Before processing softirqs on hardirq exit, we already
do the check for pending softirqs while hardirqs are
guaranteed to be disabled.
So we can take a shortcut and safely jump to the arch
specific implementation directly.
