Subject: [PATCH]skge napi->poll() locking bug
Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2008 10:20:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200803231020.10030.mitov@issp.bas.bg> (raw)
Hi all,
According to: Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt:
<cite>
napi->poll:
..........
Context: softirq
will be called with interrupts disabled by netconsole.
</cite>
napi->poll() could be called either with interrupts enabled
(in softirq context) or disabled (by netconsole), so the irq flag
should be preserved.
Inspired by Ingo's resent forcedeth patch :-)
Regards
Marin Mitov
