Zero doesn't mean no context loss. If counter was previous MAX_INT, if it goes to zero it is still a context loss, as the counter value differs. Drivers do check against diff in the context loss counter, and if there is one, they do restore which is the right way to handle it. No need to unnecessarily make this more complicated than it is. -Tero -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The flag idea was discussed in context of [1].

This goes to the discussion whether the API of lost context stuff is correct or not, and goes out of scope for this set. I am just attempting to bring omap4 to omap3 level in the first place, we can discuss about the potential API problems separately, and a change like that should be relatively easy to implement anyway.... but will break several drivers. -Tero -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
