[PLUG] isr is called reentrantly!!


Does anyone know what this means?

"isr is called reentrantly!!"

It's a kernel message. It's from ami megaraid driver.

Here's the code which produced it:

   if (megaCfg->host->irq == irq) {
        if (megaCfg->flag & IN_ISR) {
            TRACE (("ISR called reentrantly!!\n"));
            printk ("ISR called reentrantly!!\n");
        }
        megaCfg->flag |= IN_ISR;

However, I have no idea what this does. Does anyone have an idea?

I think that this might be a cause of a hang.
