I apologize for ccing this to people not on the kernel list too, but i
hope the more expert heads, the better ...
Can i do a
if (softirq_active(cpu) & softirq_mask(cpu))
{
do_softirq();
}
at the end of smp_apic_timer_interrupt ? i mean
smp_apic_timer_interrupt ()
{
irq_enter
All it does normally.
irq_exit
if (softirq_active(cpu) & softirq_mask(cpu))
{
do_softirq();
}
}
My understanding is that smp_apic_timer_interrupt is very similar to
do_IRQ but it knows which function to call already,
and since the do_IRQ does this at the end of its execution, it
should be ok here too. Am i ok in doing this ? basically the function
smp_apic_timer_interrupt activates a tasklet, that i would like done here
at this point, executed as a tasklet itself. If this is not ok, can
someone suggest something for acheiving this ?
Thanks for any help!
