Subject: [PATCH]Make the intel-iommu_wait_op macro work when jiffies are not running
Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 13:41:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080512204157.GA32017@linux.intel.com> (raw)

The following patch changes the intel-iommu.c code to use the TSC
instead of jiffies for detecting bad DMAR functionality.  Some systems
with bad bios's have been seen to hang in early boot spinning in the
IOMMU_WAIT_IO macro.  This patch will replace the forever spin with a
call to panic.
