It can be generalized to any interrupts (soft and hard) Another solution is using two blocks, one used from interrupt context. static DEFINE_PER_CPU(u64[80], msg_schedule); static DEFINE_PER_CPU(u64[80], msg_schedule_irq); (Like we do for SNMP mibs on !x86 arches) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
