I am not on the list (corperate email sucks) so please CC any replies to
me. Thanks.
I am working on a project that has run in to what seems to be an
interrupt priority problem. We switched mainboards in our product and
went from a system where the EHCI controller IRQ was of a fairly high
priority to one where its the lowest in the system. Now we cannot get
the data off our USB device in time and we drop alot of data. I was
hoping someone here may have a simple(ish) solution to the problem.
I have seen the preempt patches, but they touch a lot of files, and we
have gone through testing with the 2.6.16.19 kernel and do not wish to
change, and we cannot find a version of the patch for this kernel. Is
there something smaller/simpler I can do? My understanding is the
priority in the APIC is set in software via the interrupt vector number
(higher numbers have lower priority) is this true? If so, how hard
would it be for me to just change the vector numbers around?
Ideally I would love to switch to the 2.6.20 kernel and use the preempt
patch, but I doubt we have the time for that.
Thanks,
Mike
