Yes, exactly; all I really want is to start a thread from an interrupt context, and pass a structure to it. This is pretty much all that arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/eeh_event.c is trying to do, and little else. --linas _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
