This should be OK ... same treatment would be needed in the CMC path (Zoltan's patch already covers this by delaying the interrupt enable there too). Which approach is better? Delaying the interrupt enable may be a simpler code change (disabling and enabling the CPE/CMC interrupt may complicate the code that already does this for high rates of corrected interrupts). Keeping the enable early is better for interrupt latency. -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
