Re: [patch] ips.c spin lock 64 bit issues

That's only the tip of the iceberg for the "variable casting" and other
changes that are required to make the ips driver completely safe on IA64.
I have made all the changes necessary and we are currently in test mode
with the next release of ips ( Version 4.80.xx ), which will be completely
64-bit safe. I hope to make it available to all sometime in September,
when we have completed our testing with it on both 32 and 64 bit Linux.

Hi

I noticed the ips.c driver used 32 bit data types for it's cpu_flags
variables passed to spin_lock_irqsave() etc. which isn't safe on 64
systems.

Here is a patch that solves the problem (think I got them all).

Cheers
Jes
