Re: 2.3 and ami_int3

[Jouko P. <py...@jy...>]

I changed a couple of things in my 2.3 kernel and got it running. I don't
know which of the changes were important but anyway:

1) in amiints.c function amiga_free_irq() if you free an auto irq, it
should probably return after the sys_free_irq() call on line 259,
otherwise it goes to cia_free_irq() as well and tries to free it as a CIA
interrupt.

2) in amiga_enable_irq() some vaues in ami_ablecount[] seemed to go
negative, which can't be right? I added a check so it'll never be
decreased below zero.

3) the old ami_int3 change: reinserted it to the amiga_default_handler[]
array and free the irq in amifb.c after ami_init_copper() call. I doubt
this isn't the Right Way though.

After those it boots, was up for over an hour. I compiled stuff, ran X
etc and saw no crashes.

Btw one thing about PPP: do you need a new pppd specifically for 2.3
kernels? I couldn't get ppp running. It says the kernel doesn't have ppp
support. I don't think (?) it's because of the serial driver, i kludged
amiserial.c to compile and as far as i can see serial i/o works.
