[PATCH] powerpc/irq: Allow softirq to hardirq stack transition

[Christophe Leroy]

Le 30/11/2023 à 13:50, Michael Ellerman a écrit :

> The allowed transitions are now:
>   - process stack -> hardirq stack
>   - process stack -> softirq stack
>   - process stack -> softirq stack -> hardirq stack

It means you don't like my patch 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/6cd9d8bb2258d8b51999c2584eac74423d2b5e29.1657203774.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu/ 
?

I never got any feedback.
