Subject: [PATCH 1/4] sky2: restore workarounds for lost interrupts
Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2007 09:12:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070816131348.019025298@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20070816131244.726293914@linux-foundation.org

[-- Attachment #1: sky2-lost-irq.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1351 bytes --]

Backport of commit c59697e06058fc2361da8cefcfa3de85ac107582

This patch restores a couple of workarounds from 2.6.16:
 * restart transmit moderation timer in case it expires during IRQ routine
 * default to having 10 HZ watchdog timer.
At this point it more important not to hang than to worry about the
power cost.
