Gerard, LKML The attached patch tweaks the sym53c8xx timeout timer handling a bit. Is it correct? It works with interrupts off (we need a reboot notifier to iterate the hosts list, with IRQs off) and doesn't delay() 5 seconds in worst case. Is there any reason this patch won't work? It seems OK to me. Tim -- Tim Hockin Systems Software Engineer Sun Microsystems, Cobalt Server Appliances thockin@sun.com
