any example of CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=n?

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

 



  doing some research into a future newbie column on interrupts, and i
noticed that every single config file default for the Kconfig
variable CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS is "y", and every Kconfig file
defines that variable as a bool and defaults it to y with no way to be
user-selectable.  so the obvious question is, under what circumstances
will that ever be "n"?

  more to the point, what does that variable mean, anyway?  :-)
