[PATCH REPOST] irq_poll: Add local_bh_disable() in cpu_dead notifier

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

 



__raise_softirq_irqoff() adds a bit to the pending sofirq mask and this
is it. The softirq won't be handled in a deterministic way but randomly
when an interrupt fires and handles the softirq in its irq_exit() routine or
if something randomly checks and handles pending softirqs in the call
chain before the CPU goes idle.

Add a local_bh_disable/enable() around the IRQ-off section which will
handle pending softirqs.
