In the 2.6 kernel, it is no longer possible to globally disable interrupts. In particular, the cli(), sti(), save_flags(), and restore_flags() functions are no longer available. Disabling interrupts across all processors in the system is simply no longer done.
It is still possible to disable all interrupts locally with local_save_flags() or local_irq_disable(). A single interrupt can be disabled globally with disable_irq() -- Regards, Gaurav Aggarwal ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of vasant j Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 10:50 AM To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Subject: Hi all reply plzzzz.....
