Right, so that's not a fix at all. Not following the API is the bug. > But if this problem happen and the same DeviceID & EventID are reused, > the freed ITT will be visit which cause delayed kernel panic, > the prev INTs are triggered unexpected, but the new INTs lost. If you're disposing of the mapping and yet have not freed the interrupt, then anything can happen. The kernel doesn't try to protect yourself from your own mistakes. > So I think this check spend less, but gains more. I beg to differ. This brings nothing but a very weak guarantee that only applies to a particular class of HW, makes a mess of the API, and papers over grave bugs that should be fixed. Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...
