I think it also makes sense to use these in this patch as well. That is, go ahead and make the changes likes this: @@ -919,17 +919,14 @@ void __irq_entry smp_apic_timer_interrupt(struct pt_regs *regs) /* * NOTE! We'd better ACK the irq immediately, * because timer handling can be slow. - */ - ack_APIC_irq(); - /* + * * update_process_times() expects us to have done irq_enter(). * Besides, if we don't timer interrupts ignore the global * interrupt lock, which is the WrongThing (tm) to do. */ - irq_enter(); - exit_idle(); + entering_ack_irq(); local_apic_timer_interrupt(); - irq_exit(); + exiting_irq(); set_irq_regs(old_regs); } And do that with all the interrupts. I think this is getting close for adding to 3.11 queue. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
