Subject: [patch 5/6] PS3: Fix system slowdown
Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2007 14:01:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46365913.3090504@am.sony.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070430202420.872228544@am.sony.com>

From: Takao Shinohara <shin@sm•sony.co.jp>

The PS3 HV will deliver soft-disabled interrupts at the next HV call or
interrupt.  Add an HV call to local_irq_restore() to force the timely
delivery of any pending interrupts.

This fixes the system slowdown bug reported here
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8260

I made a request to change the behavior of the lv1 hypervisor to better
support the way we do soft-disable on Linux, but it is still not been
decided if and when that support will be done.
