Re: [PATCH] PPC601 MQ handling

Did you check it was actually saved/restored by the signal code ?

Ben.

I looked up when XER gets saved/restored to save/restore MQ.

I tested my patch with
mqtest &
(start other programs which are 'MQ-enabled')
fg
^Z
...
and mqtest gave me the correct output.

I used the same principle to patch my 2.4 kernel and I'm running with the patch for over 3 months now.

If this isn't the answer you wanted, could you please point out what I should be testing?

Thanks

Stef

I was concerned about arch/ppc/kernel/signal.c but it seems that it's ok,
it will save & restore it properly.

Paul, do we want this patch in ?

Ben.
