Hi , Is there any moderation done to the messages posted to this mailing list. I posted couple of messages but none has come , just wondering what is wrong ? Thanks & Regards, Ramgopal Kota -----Original Message----- From: linux-mips-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-mips-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mikael Starvik Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 8:30 PM To: linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: MIPS raw_local_irq_restore flags For the common case CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2 && CONFIG_IRQ_CPU raw_local_irq_restore_flags is defined as: " beqz \\flags, 1f \n" " di \n" " ei \n" "1: \n" Doesn't this imply that you can't do recursive local_irq_save() (with different locks ofcourse)? Best Regards /Mikael
