[PATCH v4 2/4] Numachip: Elide self-IPI ICR polling

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

 



The default self-IPI path polls the ICR to delay sending the IPI until
there is no IPI in progress. This is redundant on x86-86 APICs, since
IPIs are queued. See the AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual, vol 2,
p525.
