Subject: [IA64] disable preemption in udelay()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.15-rc6~14^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f5899b5d4fa806403f547dc41312d017d94ec273;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[IA64] disable preemption in udelay()

The udelay() inline for ia64 uses the ITC.  If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled
and the platform has unsynchronized ITCs and the calling task migrates
to another CPU while doing the udelay loop, then the effective delay may
be too short or very, very long.

This patch disables preemption around 100 usec chunks of the overall
desired udelay time.  This minimizes preemption-holdoffs.

udelay() is now too big to be inline, move it out of line and export it.
