[Cbe-oss-dev] spu signals and context switches

[Håvard Espeland]

Hi.

I'm playing around with the spu preemptive scheduling mechanism, and
I noticed that signals sent from the ppu to spus when I have more spu
contexts than physical spus are sometimes lost. Is this intended, or is
my code just broken?

My system is a PS3 running Geoff's latest git tree. I have attached a
working example of the problem, and with 7 contexts, a signal is lost
about every 5 runs (noticable with an infloop).
