Subject: [RESEND] [RFC][PATCH X86_32 1/2]: Call do_notify_resume() with interrupts enabled
Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:48:12 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111025141812.GA21225@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

do_notify_resume() gets called with interrupts disabled on x86_32. This
is different from the x86_64 behavior, where interrupts are enabled at
the time.

Queries on lkml on this issue hasn't yielded any clear answer. Lets make
x86_32 behave the same as x86_64, unless there is a real reason to
maintain status quo.

Please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/27/130 for more details

A similar change was suggested in arm
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/25/231

My 32-bit machine works fine (tm) with the patch below
