Hello,
i've got a question about local_irq_save()
When i use this function to disable interrupts, does this mean that when
an interrupt occurs
when interrupts are disabled, for example from the ethernet chip, this
interrupt is lost or does it mean
that the interrupt isnt serviced at the moment but serviced when
interrupts are enabled again?
i've got 2 interrupts in my driver which both need to write data in the
same buffer so when i keep
interrupts enabled, then i get bad behaviour.
Is there a way to lock a buffer from two interrupt service routines
without disabling interrupts?
thanks in advance,
Chris.
