Why is not kthread (with kthread_bind) good for you? You could also use set_cpus_allowed_ptr, but I discourage you doing so until you give a reason. > Also, if device has two separate CPUs on board and they share same PCI > bus or device, > how to avoid both CPUs access to the bus or device at same time? Could you elaborate on that? It is a board with 2 CPUs and you want only one CPU to operate on arbitrary device? And you have drivers for all the devices and want to ensure this on all of them? If you do not explain this in more detail I'm afraid we can't help you. -- js _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
