Subject: sttus of the Altix mmtimer driver
Date: Tue, 23 May 2017 09:08:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170523070805.GB17926@lst.de> (raw)
Hi folks,
what's the status of the SGI support for the IA64 SN2-specific
altic mmtimer (drivers/char/mmtimer.c)? It's the only driver that
register a k_lock outside the core kernel, so if we could get rid of
it because the remaining IA64 user are all on somewhat old distros
anyway it would make our life a whole lot easier.
