Hi,
the following series of 10 trivial patches contains two changes:
- removes local_irq_disable() on redundant places after local_irq_save()
- turns local_save_flags() + local_irq_disable() into local_irq_save()
It was quite surprising to find it on so many places. There is another gem
in drivers/block/ataflop.c::do_fd_request():
local_save_flags(flags); /* The request function is called with
ints
local_irq_disable(); * disabled... so must save the IPL for
later */
I am not sure if the author was aware of the fact that he commented also
the local_irq_disable() call :) I will look into the code a bit more
later, to see whether it just really wants to save flags, or this should
be converted into standard local_irq_save(flags).
