Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hey gang, At dfr's request, I've worked up some patches to allow us to have psuedo-fast interrupts on the alpha where we run the handler directly like we used to instead of scheduling a thread to run. Also, while I was in the code, I found some bugs in my initial code, namely: - I didn't actually pass the new-bus interrupt handler flags down into alpha_platform_setup_intr(), so the MPSAFE flag would never actually be set in the intrhand structures. - Partly as a result of the above, I didn't enforce exclusiveness of interrupt vectors for INTR_EXCL interrupts. The patch at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/alpha.fast.patch should fix all this, but I don't have a workign sio to test it on, so I would appreciate some testing and feedback.
