I am wondering about the interaction between schedule_timeout and functions like local_irq_save, that turn off interrupts. To my understanding, with schedule_timeout one sleeps until a timer interrupt is received. But how can that be received if interrupts have been turned off? I find this mostly in older code, but there are still some occurrences, and even in older code, I'm not sure to understand how it could have worked. thanks, julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
