[patch 04/96] kernel/fork.c: virtually mapped stacks: do not disable interrupts

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

 



From: Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kernel/fork.c: virtually mapped stacks: do not disable interrupts

The reason to disable interrupts seems to be to avoid switching to a
different processor while handling per cpu data using individual loads and
stores.  If we use per cpu RMV primitives we will not have to disable
interrupts.
