[PATCH] resend, unneeded cli/sti in ret_from_intr path

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

 



i386/kernel/entry.S:resume_kernel: is used on return path
from do_IRQ() which leaves interrupts disabled. And we have
preempt_stop == cli in ret_from_exception: case, before
ret_from_intr. So this 'cli' is unneeded.

It is ok to enter schedule() with interrupts disabled, so
this 'sti' in preempt_schedule_irq() seems to be unneeded too.
