Impressive :)
I have to ask a dumb question, though. Might it not be better to add a
new set of functions like:
local_softirq_disable(mask);
spin_lock_softirq(lock, mask);
Then just define the existing functions to call the new ones with
SOFTIRQ_ALL_MASK? It would achieve something like the same result with
far less churn and conflict potential; then individual call sites could be
changed at leisure? For extra credit, somebody could do a checkpatch rule
to keep new calls to the _bh functions from being added.
Thanks,
jon
