include the ithread scheduling step. Without this, a preemption might occur in between the interrupt getting masked and the ithread getting scheduled. Since the interrupt handler runs in the context of curthread, the scheudler might see it as having a such a low priority on a busy system that it doesn't get to run for a _long_ time, leaving the interrupt stranded in a disabled state. The only way that the preemption can happen is by a fast/filter handler triggering a schduling event earlier in the handler, so this problem can only happen for cases where an interrupt is being shared by both a fast/filter handler and an ithread handler. Unfortunately, it seems to be common for this sharing to happen with network and USB devices, for example. This fixes many of the mysterious TCP session timeouts and NIC watchdogs that were being reported. Many thanks to Sam Lefler for getting to the bottom of this problem. Reviewed by: jhb, jeff, silby |
