Why not use spin_lock_irqsave() / spin_unlock_irqrestore() for the critical code segment, you won't get any interrupt. If you still want to disable the timer interrupt only, disable_irq(0) might work. -- Catalin ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs SkyScan service.
