Subject: [PATCH] hrtimers: fix HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ description
Date: Sun, 04 Mar 2007 07:47:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45EABFD1.9010800@debian.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 234 bytes --]
The description for HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ is backwards; "NO
SOFTIRQ" sounds a whole lot like it means it must not be run in a
softirq. :)
