From 0366a1c70b89efed4f9d590216bb004a16effbed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:29:11 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/irq: Run softirqs off the top of the irq stack Nowadays, irq_exit() calls __do_softirq() pretty much directly instead of calling do_softirq() which switches to the decicated softirq stack. This has lead to observed stack overflows on powerpc since we call irq_enter() and irq_exit() outside of the scope that switches to the irq stack. This fixes it by moving the stack switching up a level, making irq_enter() and irq_exit() run off the irq stack. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt --- Reading git-format-patch failed
