that is priority is rasied. Add a new spllowersoftclock() to provide the
atomic drop-to-softclock semantics that the old splsoftclock() provided,
and update calls accordingly.
This fixes a problem with using the "rnd" pseudo-device from within
interrupt context to extract random data (e.g. from within the softnet
interrupt) where doing so would incorrectly unblock interrupts (causing
all sorts of lossage).
XXX 4 platforms do not have priority-raising capability: newsmips, sparc,
XXX sparc64, and VAX. This platforms still have this bug until their
XXX spl*() functions are fixed.
up on an A3000. There are still (very) few changes required outside the
arch/amiga tree, so you can't recompile the kernel yet. Support for
third party SCSI controllers for the A2000 is on its way. The kernel is
fully functional (except for a missing ethernet-driver ...). This
tree is based on my version #390.
