From ee5f80a993539490a07477ff2526bf62c503fbb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 11:06:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_check Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups The tick idle check which is called from irq_enter() was run before the call to __irq_enter() which did not set the in_interrupt() bits in preempt_count. That way the raise of a softirq woke up softirqd for nothing as the softirq was handled on return from interrupt. Call __irq_enter() before calling into the tick idle check code.
