    [PATCH] ppc64: fix IPI on bpa_iic · a84195f3
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    This fixes a severe bug in the bpa_iic driver that caused
    all sorts of problems.
    
    We had been using incorrect priority values for inter processor
    interrupts, which resulted in always doing CALL_FUNCTION
    instead of RESCHEDULE or DEBUGGER_BREAK.
    
    The symptoms cured by this patch include bad performance on
    SMP systems spurious kernel panics in the IPI code.
