Re: [PATCH 1/2] MIPS: MSA: bugfix - disable MSA during thread switch correctly

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

 



Yes, I have a program but it is binary only.

If you want to understand why disable_DMA() after resume() doesn't work,
search for restoring RA register in resume() after changing SP.

Hi Leonid,

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say here. Do you have an
example of a program that demonstrates the behaviour you believe to be
broken?

Thanks,
