What's the point then; simply to let the top half run to completion before another top half starts? If it's about setting scheduling priorities for irq threads, some one top half can prempt another, why not just use irq levels, like bsd (using pic's is slower than using threads?)? -- Tom Vier DSA Key ID 0x15741ECE - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
