Subject: Have the fix for softirq landed???
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2016 08:36:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160829083657.6111c558@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi Eric and Paolo,
Back in May you discovered (IMHO) a serious bug in softirq. It even got
covered by LWN.net[1]. I've looked at the most recent git tree (linus
and net-next), and cannot see any changes that fixes this.
What is the progress in this area?
