correct locking primitive?
Aug. 12, 2015
2:01 a.m.
So reading this: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/kernel-locking/x137.htm... …led me to believe that spin_lock_bh() was the correct primitive to use within a callback from a high resolution timer, but that didn’t work. Instead using spin_lock_irqsave() did work, however. Can someone explain why? Thanks, Nick
