From 5c4853b60ca8ec3d989ce05a5e995d15c3ed52c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2013 01:07:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: Simplify a bit hardirq <-> softirq transitions Instead of saving the hardirq state on a per CPU variable, which require an explicit call before the softirq handling and some complication, just save and restore the hardirq tracing state through functions return values and parameters. It simplifies a bit the black magic that works around the fact that softirqs can be called from hardirqs while hardirqs can nest on softirqs but those two cases have very different semantics and only the latter case assume both states.
