Subject: [patch for 2.6.25? 3/3] skge napi->poll() locking bug
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:45:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200803270745.m2R7jEUA024166@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)
From: Marin Mitov <mitov@issp.bas.bg>
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 :-)
