Re: [PATCH] Export current_is_keventd() for libphy

[Jeff Garzik]

Yes, I merged the code, but looking deeper at phy its clear I missed 
some things.

Looking into libphy's workqueue stuff, it has the following sequence:

	disable interrupts
	schedule_work()

	... time passes ...
	... workqueue routine is called ...

	enable interrupts
	handle interrupt

I really have to question if a workqueue was the best choice of 
direction for such a sequence.  You don't want to put off handling an 
interrupt, with interrupts disabled, for a potentially unbounded amount 
of time.

Maybe the best course of action is to mark it with CONFIG_BROKEN until 
it gets fixed.
