I don't think I went as daringly far as to suggest the full name, but I
must admit that IRQF_IRQPOLL_IRQ is actually logical.

Sure. And for him to have a better chance to do this, I'll fix his email 
address too:-)

I personally don't care very much about the naming. So I think it's
Andrews final decision ...

Purely esthetically (ehm, am I saying that?...) your original suggestion 
to use IRQF_IRQPOLL looks better to me. Or even IRQF_POLL, but, maybe, 
it's a bit too much of a simplification.

Well, it was suggested by Andrew. What's your suggestion?

emn, please, cannot we come up with a better name - one that doesn't have 
"IRQ" 3 (!) times in it?...

[patch 0/7] Add IRQF_IRQPOLL_IRQ flag to allow irqpoll

2007-03-23 Thread Bernhard Walle
irqpoll is broken on some architectures that don't use the IRQ 0 for the timer
interrupt like IA64. This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL_IRQ flag.

Each architecture is handled in a separate pach. As I left the irq == 0 as
condition, this should not break existing architectures that use timer_irq == 0
and that I did't address with that patch (because I don't know).
