From ac8be955049dab828a68b9c68a75144832f8289f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2007 00:18:01 +0000 Subject: [MIPS] SMTC: Instant IPI replay. SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first SMTC prototypes, these queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even under heavy I/O interrupt load.
