Why not disabled interrupts, unregister interrupt handler, and then make sure interrupts are disabled (only needed to prevent an interrupt storm)? Once you have unregistered the interrupt handler, it can't run again... Then you're free to drain the task queue safely... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."Received on Wed Jul 01 2015 - 21:25:12 UTC
