H A D | Kconfig | diff ac8be955049dab828a68b9c68a75144832f8289f Sat Jan 20 01:18:01 CET 2007 Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> [MIPS] SMTC: Instant IPI replay.
SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first SMTC prototypes, these queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even under heavy I/O interrupt load.
