However, that the trigger functions could be called from interrupt context is new to me, thanks to pointing it out. Mutexes are used in _trigger function in current CVS too, not directly in trigger function, but in _link and _unlink function called by _trigger, and SMP is broken, so in some way we need to fix it.
I'll try to come with another solution, if you have any suggestion how to solve it, then great. /Benny ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
