Re: [patch] Real-Time Preemption, -VP-2.6.9-rc4-mm1-U4

[john cooper]

Ingo,
   In reading your -U3 patch the test below (#156)
wasn't clear to me.   It would seem in the case of
softirq_preemption, __do_softirq() should be called
to kick ksoftirqd, otherwise ___do_softirq() would
be called to exec softirqs in the immediate context.

kernel/softirq.c:

 153   asmlinkage void _do_softirq(void)
 154   {
 155           local_irq_disable();
 156           if (!softirq_preemption)
 157                   __do_softirq();
 158           else
 159                   ___do_softirq();
 160           local_irq_enable();
 161   }
