Subject: interrupt count (/proc/stat) change in 2.4.19-pre9
Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 23:04:13 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <15605.42173.758778.408074@rtfm.ofc.tekinteractive.com> (raw)

What's the purpose of this patchlet (below) in 2.4.19-pre9?  Interrupt
counts that would otherwise be zero are, of course, a billion larger
than they should be.

Is it trying to induce some sort of intentional overflow in the
interrupt count, or is there some other big-picture change that
requires this?  I see the comment from the BK changeset, but I still
don't understand the purpose.
