Interrupt randomness in 3.14.10-rt

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

 



I noticed this change between 3.14.3-rt5 and 3.14.10-rt7:

--- debian/patches/features/all/rt/random-make-it-work-on-rt.patch      (revision 21522)
+++ debian/patches/features/all/rt/random-make-it-work-on-rt.patch      (working copy)
[...]
---- a/kernel/irq/manage.c
-+++ b/kernel/irq/manage.c
-@@ -942,6 +942,12 @@ static int irq_thread(void *data)

-                       atomic_inc(&desc->threads_handled);
- 
-+#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL
-+              migrate_disable();

-+              migrate_enable();
-+#endif
-               wake_threads_waitq(desc);
-       }
- 

(I.e. old patch included these additions, new patch doesn't.)

Evidently this was made in the announced 3.14.10-rt6, not -rt7.  Was it
intentional?  Now irq_desc::random_ip is set but never used.

Ben.
