[PATCH] XPC heartbeat timer function must run on CPU 0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, XPC's heartbeat timer function runs on whatever CPU modprobe/insmod
ran on when XPC was started. To avoid the heartbeat from being delayed for
long periods the timer function must run on CPU 0.
