Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> writes:Really caller should have done preempt_disable(), otherwise the value can be wrong as soon as you return. Better probably to just WARN_ON if preemption is on (just be careful it does not trigger in oopses and machine checks) GPL export too? Actually it should be correct. Except for UV you likely really need a NUMA aware irqbalanced. I used to have some old very hackish patches to implement that in irqbalanced, but never pushed it because the systems I was working on didn't really need it. Instead of doing that it might be better to implement __read_mostly per CPU variables (should not be very hard) This could disable interrupts for a long time could't it? Really needed? 255? Strange poison value. Definitely should be a CONFIG This should be probably factored properly (didn't Jeremy have smp_ops for this some time ago) so that even the default case is a call.
