Hi, I reported on this a few years ago on 2.4.18, but it never seemed to have been addressed... in linux/arch/mips/au1000/common/time.c, mips_timer_interrupt calls irq_enter() *before* checking if (r4k_offset == 0), and then exits the interrupt without calling irq_exit(). This problem was crashing our boards in some test cases... Please apply. Thanks, Joseph ---- RCS file: /mnt/cvs/kernel-2.6/arch/mips/au1000/common/time.c,v retrieving revision 1.1.1.1 diff -c -r1.1.1.1 time.c *** time.c 13 Mar 2005 08:19:05 -0000 1.1.1.1 --- time.c 19 Mar 2005 01:04:19 -0000 *************** *** 86,96 **** int irq = 63; unsigned long count; - irq_enter(); - kstat_this_cpu.irqs[irq]++; - if (r4k_offset == 0) goto null; do { count = read_c0_count(); --- 86,96 ---- int irq = 63; unsigned long count; if (r4k_offset == 0) goto null; + + irq_enter(); + kstat_this_cpu.irqs[irq]++; do { count = read_c0_count();
